"Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter! We bake cake and nothing's the matter!" When Mickey tumbles out of bed and into the Night Kitchen, he lands straight in the bakers' bowl — and the adventure begins. Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Honor-winning fantasy unfolds like a comic strip across oversized pages, with a deep indigo night sky, a city built entirely of food-product skyscrapers, three identical Oliver Hardy bakers, and Mickey soaring above it all in a plane molded from bread dough.
Bold, funny, dreamlike, and utterly original — a celebration of the primal, sensory world of childhood and an affirmation of its imaginative potency.
