Sendak's hero Mickey falls through the dark into the Night Kitchen where three fat bakers are making the morning cake. So begins an intoxicating dream fantasy, described by the artist himself as 'a fantasy ten feet deep in reality'.

About the Author

Maurice Sendak was born in Brooklyn, New York. He began by illustrating other authors' books for children, but the first book that he both wrote and illustrated was Kenny's Window, published in 1956. Since then he has illustrated over 80 books, and has won many awards, including the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. In 1970 he was the first American to win the Hans Christian Andersen Illustrator's Medal. In 1978 the University of Boston made him Doctor of Humane Letters and in 1983 he won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal for a 'substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children over a period of years'.

Reviews

5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 29/05/2011

For a children’s book I think this one has a lot of edge. Maurice Sendak (author of Where the Wild Things Are) really lets him imagination run wild with Mickey and the bakers (Costello look-a-like from Abbot & Costella) who try and bake him into their Morning Cake. Supposedly it was banned in the US because Mickey is naked through most of the story. It’s trippy, but lots of fun.
