Amazon.com Review
When asked, Maurice Sendak insisted that he was not a comics artist, but an illustrator. However, its hard to not notice comics aspects in works like In the Night Kitchen. The child of the story is depicted floating from panel to panel as he drifts through the fantastic dream world of the bakers kitchen. Sendaks use of multiple panels and integrated hand-lettered text is an interesting contrast to his more traditional childrens books containing single-page illustrations such as his wildly popular Where the Wild Things Are.

Review
The story of Mickeys nighttime adventure in the bakers kitchen is “a highly original dream fantasy [with] deliciously playful illustrations [and a] chantable, easily remembered text. Pure delight for young children.”–“BL.”
