Review:
Possibly the coolest coloring 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 colors. Unlike many coloring books that contain pages of poorly rendered poster art, this offers beautiful lines to color within and a comic book-like story structure that's interesting enough to reread after it's been colored.

Book Description Sendak, Maurice (illustrator). 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. Jacket a few small spots of rubbing, one short closed tear repaired with tape to verso. Book with light bumping to extremities. Interior clean. Very good plus in very good plus jacket. Seller Inventory # 12465

Book Description Pictorial Covers. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Sendak (Maurice) (illustrator). First Edition. First edition, first impression, first printing of UK edition of Maurice Sendaks infamous book for children. Infamous because it is regularly challenged in the USA on account of Sendaks drawings of a naked Mickey. The fine forty page book, illustrated in Sendaks inimitable style and enclosed in pictorial covers, is a crisp and clean copy. The dust jacket is not price clipped and is enclosed in a transparent protective cover. There are two small repaired tears on the jacket cover and some slight rubbing on the top and bottom of the jacker spine. There is neat inscription on the front end papers. In The Night Kitchen is one of two classic picture books written and illustrated by Sendak. The other is Where The Wild Things Are. Sendak uses these books to expand the imaginary world of the reader. "In The Night Kitchen" is entertaining, educational and highly collectible. Clear removable archival film protects the pristine dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 000074
