Ilustration Supposing Books In the Night Kitchen
I have a confession to make, goodreads. You might want to sit down. I've been seeing other literary social cataloguing websites. No, wait, put that plate down. It wasn't because I really wanted to see anyone else. . . it was for my grade. *dodges plate* Wait, wait, let me explain! The thing is, I'm doing a big project on book reviews. I'm analyzing the rhetorical differences between online book reviews and those published in print. From meta-reviews to highly negative reviews, to reviews that are discussing the process of reading the book instead of the actual book itself, I'm searching for every kind of trend that's developing. Including the brilliant one-sentence reviews. How many have I been seeing? Uh, like four. Probably six by the end of the week. *dodges a lamp* But I'm not reviewing with them, goodreads! I'm just there for the . . . well, you know . . . if I want my project to say anything, I need to know the lay of the land, don't I? But, more than just literary social cataloguing websites, I'm also looking at other parts of the internet: online-only reviewers, amazon.com book reviews, and on and on. The project itself will be specifically about reviews on goodreads, but I'm going to do some comparisons to see why our reviews are better than theirs. Because they are, and I love you the best. I'm saying all this because it would just be the cat's pajamas if anyone knows a website I should check out, article I should read, or even a specific review that you think of as a "must read." And I raise the question: is it even a book review if the book is never mentioned, nor any issue about the book's subject matter raised?Rating About Books In the Night Kitchen

Now truth be told, I certainly have never ever even remotely enjoyed Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen nearly as much as his eternally and forever brilliant Where the Wild Things Are (which ranks as one of my favourite picture books of all time, period), and this is mostly because there is just not enough of a plot, of an actual storyline contained within In the Night Kitchen to fully satisfy me narrationally, but be that as it may, I will still and very much gladly and with pleasure give InWell I read this as a child and although it is a nice enough dream sequence of a young boy who has probably gone to sleep thinking of food I found it very creepy. I found it weird that there were 3 Oliver Hardy's that look quite sinister in my opinion and I didn't like the style and colours of the illustrations. Having already found Outside Over There scary I found this one quite creepy too.
This is such a weird book, but my 3-year old can't get enough of it, constantly singing "Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter!" Why in the world was Mikey in the cake at all?

This one is my favourite of Sendaks work! I just love the magical and unbelievably worlds he creates through the illustrations. His words are always so catchy and the storyline provokes so much discussion about the reader interpretation and the hidden meanings.
I am kind of on the fence abut this book. I had to read it a few times. The first time I read the book I was just all sorts of confused. I did not understand the story line or or why a child would have a dream about being baked into a cake. After reading again, I found that I liked the style the author chose to write this story. The story really flowed and it was creative. However, I just couldn't get over the idea of a child dreaming about being baked into a cake. This book has obviously been
Remember enjoying this book as a kid, and its by the Maurice Sendak so naturally this will be a good story to tell to the kids at story time. It was, though admittedly I had forgotten about the nudity... which seriously... would you want the kid to have clothes on if your gonna bake him into a cake? I did have cake this morning (Thanks, Amy).
Had this (still do) as a child. It was bizarre to me then and now. Did he drop acid and write this?
