Another winner by Maurice Sendak

November 13, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love this book! And the number one reason why is the way it delighted and made my 3 yo son belly-laugh when we read it to him. It's the kind of book that can be less accessible to adults but has the potential to really tap the imaginations of children. My kids all love chanting "Milk in the Batter!" And the others while we bake. Be aware that the cartoonish little boy is (harmlessly) drawn naked if that would be offensive to you. My kids take it in stride quite naturally, and it seemed to have the effect of making my son (brother to two sisters at the time) less uncomfortable about how his body was different from theirs.

Wonderful child's book !!

November 24, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

My son was given this book as a gift for his 1st Birthday over 35 years ago. I loved reading it to him, and he loved listening and looking at the pictures. We both enjoyed this book through-out his toddler years !! Now, 36 years later, this book has (obviously) withstood the test-of-time, as I just purchased 3 books,-- I am going to give them to 3 little relatives, all boys, that will be having their 1st Birthday within the next few months !! I'm sure their parents, as well as these little boys, will be delighted with this wonderful and UNIQUE story / illustrations. I would recommend this book more for little boys than for girls.

Weird but fun read for the littles!

April 29, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Okay first of all I absolutely CANNOT believe that some people have complained about the nudity in this book. Seriously!? I even read a review that asked why the penis had to be drawn in such detail. Lol! First of all, I'd like to assure you that the pictures of Nude Mickey are most definitely NOT detailed. This book is essentially about a dream, and if you've ever had a dream, which I'm guessing you have, then you know how bizarre your dreams can be. That's how this book is. Why is Mickey naked? Who knows. It's a dream- it makes no sense. My 18 month old son absolutely loves this book, especially when the bakers sing and when Mickey flies over the bottle of milk. It's one of the most read books in our collection.

Unique, Sweet Book

September 9, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My daughter (age 5) and son (age 2) both love this book, chanting 'Milk in the Batter' along with the chefs is fun, and we all love the distinctive illustrations of Mickey's dream world full of baking ingredients. There are a couple of nude moments in Mickey's adventure, but nothing sexualized or inappropriate. In a dream world where you swim through milk and batter, there is no need for clothes!

It Grows on You

June 12, 2014

I remember this book as a child, and thought to give it a go for my daughter.

Upon receiving this book, it came back to me that this story is just odd. However, my 2 year old daughter is ENAMORED with it. After reading it around the 3rd time, I began to really enjoy it, much like Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are."

It is really quite a beautifully, simple story of a fantastic dream and it seems, at least from reading about the book further (and its controversies) to be dissected too much, as if a book with a child being naked HAS to have some deep meaning to it.

Take it for what it is... innocence and dream.

GORGEOUS, GORGEOUS and FUN illustrations. I love seeing all the little hidden things.

My favorite book as a kid, now one of my toddler's faves.

January 27, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Little Mickey goes to bed and dreams of an adventure in the night kitchen. He almost gets baked into a cake (whoops!), makes an airplane out of dough, and saves the day by diving into a milk bottle to retrieve the missing ingredient for the bakers. Yes, its a strange story, because, you know - it's a *dream*, people. It's so evocative because it's so surreal, it is one of the most perfect renderings of the dream-state ever created. The illustrations are unbelievably gorgeous.

Yes, the little boy is naked at times, and yes, you see his penis. If you think that's a big deal, nothing I'm going to say is going to convince you otherwise. But I am going to say that the nudity is not incidental. One of the primary delights of this book (and of dreaming for that matter) is it's sensory aspects - the great visuals of the city made of pantry items, the wonderful smells of baking, and of course, the feeling of food. If you have a kid you know that they love to play with food. Imagine how awesome it would be to roll around naked in cake batter, wear a cake suit, and go swimming in a big bottle of milk!

I love this book, and have loved it for 30-some years. My little girl loves it too, and I hope she will read it to her kids as well!

BTW, if you are a fan of the book, don't miss Stephen Colbert's discussion with Sendak on the Report [...]

A Night Kitchen for the Night Owl

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I found a poster first. I am a night person. For a personalized gift for his baby shower, I bought the book for my nephew as a personal gift from his Aunt. His mom has a collection of Coffee Cu[s for me. So far, it has been great, the gift was a hit at the shower and his mom says it is a nice variety of sound when reading him to sleep.

Even better than "Where the Wild Things Are"

February 1, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This was my favorite book as a kid and I bought it as a gift for the 2 year old I nanny for. This is another creative masterpiece by Maurice Sendak who wrote "Where the Wild Things Are" and ti is even more inventive, (in my opinion). It has a unique comic book-esque layout, minimal words, and the little guy loves it.
