Synopsis "In the Night Kitchen (Caldecott Collection) "

From the acclaimed author-artist Maurice Sendak comes a Caldecott Honor-winning tale of a fantastical dream world. This comic fantasy will delight readers of all ages with playful illustrations and an imaginative world only Sendak could create.In the Night Kitchen is the classic story of Mickey's adventures in the bakers' kitchen as they prepare our morning cake. "Milk in the batter! Milk in the batter! We bake cake and nothing's the matter!" the bakers sing.The bakers in the night kitchen need more milk for their batter, but then Mickey falls into the cake! They decide to put him in the oven anyway, but Mickey has different plans. He escapes in a plane made of bread dough and helps the bakers find the milk at last."A celebration of the primal, sensory world of childhood and an affirmation of its imaginative potency," proclaimed Children's Books and Their Creators.

Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) was born on June 10, 1928 in Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland. Sendak, largely a self-taught artist, illustrated over a hundred books during his sixty-year career.

Sendak began a second career as a costume and set designer in the late 1970s, designing operas that included Krása's Brundibar, Mozart's The Magic Flute, Prokofiev's The Love for Three Oranges, and Engelbert Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel, as well as Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker. He also designed the sets and costumes, and wrote the libretto and lyrics for the musical production of Really Rosie.

Maurice Sendak remains the most awarded children's book artist in history. He received the Caldecott Medal in 1964, the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1970, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award in 1983, and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award in 2003. In 1996, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Arts in recognition of his contribution to the arts in America.
