1970réf. 92456New York: Harper & Row Publishers 1970. First edition of the 25th anniversary edition of Sendak's classic work. Quarto original cloth illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by Maurice Sendak on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Sendak's homage to New York City and the movies of the 1930s In the Night Kitchen "spins the reader through the surreal fantasy of a child's dream like Alice into Wonderland or Dorothy into Oz." Like most of Sendak's work Kitchen is "a celebration of the primal sensory world of childhood and an affirmation of its imaginative potency" Silvey 586. Having received nine awards The Night Kitchen's popularity is evident but so is its controversy. When three-year-old protagonist Mickey enters the Night Kitchen he loses his pajamas and is fully naked in some parts of the story. Some critics have objected to Mickey's nudity which is fully depicted and others have interpreted sexual innuendo in the proceeding events. Consequently the book's release in the United States sparked debate with the inclusion of child nudity frequently noted as morally problematic. The book has been ranked 25th place on the "100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000" list by the American Library Association. Harper & Row Publishers hardcover books
