Fantastic art work, you would expect this from Sendak, a dreamy story which is easy for the young child to learn by heart and lots of repetition and small phonetic words to help with learning to read.
A masterpiece, deserves to be up there with "where the wild things are".
 Stunning picture book March 2, 2007

This book is the second in the "loose trilogy" which follows on from where the wild things are, it is a VERY loose connection and definitely not the wild things mark 2.
Every child I have read this to has been totally engaged by it, there are no monster pictures (like where the wild things are and Outside over there) to scare a young child and so is lovely to read before bed. I would particularly recommend it to a young child as they will loose themselves in the pictures and love the flow of the text and won't care that it doesn't make all that much sense.
 Emperor's new clothes? July 14, 2006

Am I missing something here? This is the most bizarre load of rubbish I have ever read to my child. Why the boy's clothes need to fall off, leaving him naked in the pictures is anyone's guess. No coherent storyline, no redeeming features at all. If it was written in the 60's, the weird fantasy theme would be understandable. I know it's meant to be a dream but it doesn't excuse it. I suppose I'm just old fashioned.
A FAVORITE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN! AWESOME AUTHOR/ILLUSTRATOR! April 17, 2006

This book has survived the test of time and is one of the favorites of my grandchildren and great grandchildren.
A highly unique concept of a boy who has a 'dream' experience in the night kitchen of a baker! Yummy dessert delights as well as a feast for the eyes ... the illustrations are out of this world ... and a feast for the ears ... the chantable text is delightful! Highly recommended for kids of all ages.
