From the acclaimed author-artist Maurice Sendak comes a Caldecott Honor-winning tale of a fantastical dream world. 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.

HarperCollins is proud to present this new edition of In the Night Kitchen that has been printed in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation to ensure that Maurice Sendak's original artwork has been reproduced to the highest standards.

"A celebration of the primal, sensory world of childhood and an affirmation of its imaginative potency," proclaimed Children's Books and Their Creators.

About Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) was an illustrator, author and stage designer. Born in Brooklyn to immigrants from Poland, he was largely self-taught as an artist. He illustrated more than 150 books beyond his own. Where the Wild Things Are won the Caldecott Medal in 1964, and In the Night Kitchen was named a Caldecott Honor Book in 1971. The Nutshell Library gathers four miniature books, among them Chicken Soup with Rice and Pierre. He received the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the National Medal of Arts and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, and designed for opera and the stage. He made picture books, not poetry.
