In the Night Kitchen
Well 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.
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
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
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?
Revised Review:In the Night Kitchen is a follow-up of Maurice Sendaks famous childrens book, Where the Wild Things Are and has also received the distinguished Caldecott Honor Book Award. In the Night Kitchen is also one of the most controversial books in history due to many images of Mickey being naked during his dream trip to the Night Kitchen. This book details the adventures of a small boy named Mickey who journeys to the Night Kitchen and meets three unusual cooks and eventually saves the
This is another book I feel like I had on tape. Then again, maybe it's just that the words have a very strong rhythm, like a chant, that makes me feel like I had it on tape. Anyway, the story is pretty surreal from the beginning; a little boy falls out of his bed and out of his clothes (to this day I am still surprised that Sendak chose to use full frontal nudity throughout the story) and into a wild city where huge household products and food containers replace the buildings in the skyline.

Explanation Toward 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?Point Epithetical Books In the Night Kitchen

There are at least 100 and more books that are banned in the United States. Books of all kinds are being prohibited from schools and some libraries. But whats the reason? Why are they being banned? Should books even be allowed to be banned? These are all questions that need answers. I think books should not be banned. All subjects no matter how realistic they are should be allowed to be printed and exposed to the world. Reading books that covers certain topics can teach us how to look at theWell 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.
