In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak

In Sendak's popularly challenged picture book,  at bedtime, Mickey falls into the Night Kitchen where the bakers (who look a lot like Oliver Hardy, in my opinion) are baking the morning cake. This may sound scary, but it's not; Mickey escapes the bakers in a plane made of dough, swipes their measuring cup and flies to the Milky Way to gather some milk. Full of fun fantasy, this story will make little sense to adult minds, but I bet your children will love it!

Banned Book Week Selection:
Challenged/banned for: depicting nudity and offensive language (I guess they mean the naked boy crowing "Cock-a-doodle-doo" at the end?! I can't find any offensive language in the book!).
