Synopsis

About this title

Review:

Possibly the coolest colouring book I've ever seen, this is the complete In the Night Kitchen printed in black-and-white line art so that readers can add their own colours. Unlike many colouring books that contain pages of poorly rendered poster art, this offers beautiful lines to colour within and a comic book-like story structure that's interesting enough to reread after it's been coloured.

Review:

The story of Mickey's nighttime adventure in the bakers' kitchen is "a highly original dream fantasy [with] deliciously playful illustrations [and a] chantable, easily remembered text. Pure delight for young children."--"BL."
