About This Book
Young Mickey falls through the darkness of his room into the Night Kitchen, where three jolly bakers are making cake. He's kneaded into the batter, escapes by fashioning an airplane out of bread dough, and flies over the Milky Way to fetch milk for the bakers. Maurice Sendak's bold, dreamy illustrations create a surreal and unforgettable nighttime adventure.
Why We Love This
Sendak's wild imagination is at its best here - kids are mesmerized by Mickey's fantastical journey, and the bold comic-panel illustrations make every reading feel like an adventure.
