i thought this was really cute and frankly, i don't see why it's on the banned books list. seriously. it's not a big deal to kids if adults don't make it a big deal.
"In the Night Kitchen" has been one of my favorite picture books since it was published. How Sendak makes a kitchen counter look like New York City at night is a masterpiece of illustration - and Mickey's rhyming dream-adventure is as enthralling - though much shorter - than Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" dream.
