As always, other categories of luxury receive time and depiction, as well.

This comic fantasy will delight readers of all ages with playful illustrations and an imaginative world only Sendak could create. In the Night Kitchen is the classic story of Mickey's adventures in the bakers' kitchen as they prepare our morning cake. "Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter! We bake cake and nothing's the matter!" the bakers sing. The bakers in the night kitchen need more milk for their batter, but then Mickey falls into the cake! They decide to put him in the oven anyway, but Mickey has different plans. He escapes in a plane made of bread dough and helps the bakers find the milk at last. "A celebration of the primal, sensory world of childhood and an affirmation of its imaginative potency," proclaimed Children's Books and Their Creators.

A young boy named Mickey sleeps in his bed when he is disturbed by noise on a lower floor. Suddenly, he begins to float, and loses all of his clothes as he drifts into a surreal world called the "Night Kitchen". He falls naked into a giant mixing pot that contains the batter for the "morning cake".When released in the early-1970s, Maurice Sendak's children's book, In the Night Kitchen, caused quite a stir for one particular reason: its protagonist ? a young boy named Mickey ? was drawn nude in some illustrations. Fearful of their children seeing an innocent picture of a fictional boy's genitals, some parents and librarians took the liberty of drawing nappies/diapers on Mickey (see above); others thought it easier to just burn the entire book.

Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First Edition. First UK edition of the dreamland bedtime adventure and Caldecott Honor book. A surreal exploration of the vivid paths of children's minds as they drift to sleep, IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN is the philosophical sequel to WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and continues that book's revolutionary focus on the inner emotional lives of children. Frequently banned for depicting its protagonist fully nude, IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN takes readers through a lush nonsense world featuring serenely inimical bakers and verses that mimic the rhythms of William Blake's verse. The book's comic-like aesthetic draws heavily from influences in the world of cartooning, most importantly Winsor McCay's early 20th-century comic LITTLE NEMO IN SLUMBERLAND, which Sendak called an "elaborate and audacious fantasy" ? IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN is "in part, an homage to Winsor McCay" (Sendak's foreword to WINSOR MCCAY: His Life and Art). A Caldecott Honor book as elaborate and audacious as its influences. 11'' x 8.5''. Original color pictorial boards. In original unclipped (?1.25 net) color pictorial dust jacket. Tan endpapers. Illustrated by Sendak in color throughout; lettering by Diana Blair. [40] pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Maurice Sendak (illustrator). 1st Edition. In the Night Kitchen is a popular and controversial children's picture book, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak, and first published in 1970. The book depicts a young boy's dream journey through a surreal baker's kitchen where he assists in the creation of a cake to be ready by the morning. When the young boy [Mickey], (who looks to be about three years old) enters the Night Kitchen, he loses his pajamas and is fully naked in some parts of the story. Critics object to Mickey's nudity which depicts not only his buttocks, but also his genitals. Some also interpret sexual innuendo in the events, with the nudity, free-flowing milky fluids, and giant (allegedly phallic) milk bottle. As a result, the book proved controversial in the United States on its release and has continued to be so. The inclusion of child nudity has been frequently raised as morally problematic; consequently, this book remains on lists of books either challenged or banned. The book has been ranked 25th place on the "100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000" list compiled by the American Library Association. - Description & Condition: Dustjacket: The original dustjacket houses the book. There are quite a few closed edge tears round the extremities, and a few small chips to the top and bottom of the spine.
