I came upon this book by accident as an adult and fell in love with it before my kids did. I made it a point to buy it & now they love it too. I think Mickey's situation can be a bit frightening, depending on child, as he is almost baked into a cake. However, if you explain that Mickey is having a dream... not so weird or scary. Also, one of the best things about the book is that the kitchen world is created of things in a kitchen, like a cheese grater, boxes of food, etc. It is a book to be looked at and laughed at. Also, good when discussing dreams with young children. What Mickey dreams could be nightmarish (almost being cooked) but he ends up safe in his bed... just as any dream ends. It is refreshing & fun! |

At age four or five I deemed this the greatest picture book ever, and in almost 30 years I have never changed my mind. Every aspect of it is so beautiful and inspired, from the surreal color tones and the supple, flowing line to the swift yet dreamlike pace. But just as impressive is its plot. Mickey's journey is startling, evocative, and totally convincing as a dream. His story gets deep under your skin because Sendak plays with the tension between some of the most powerful oppositions in childhood: the unknown versus the familiar, vulnerability versus security, dependence versus empowerment, creativity versus consumption. Yet the tone is light, playful, and encouraging. Besides being a joyous read, this book is perfect for the developing mind because it encourages physical creativity to solve problems: the scene in which Mickey molds the cake-batter into an airplane is pure genius. And his actions blend surrealism, initiative, altruism, and a celebration of the self in a way that no other picture book I've ever seen has. Children will be deeply and wonderfully affected, even if it takes them years to figure out why. |
