In the Night Kitchen

Book • 1889
Maurice Sendak's "In the Night Kitchen" is a surreal and imaginative children's book that follows a young boy's nighttime adventure in a bakery.

The story is filled with fantastical elements, including three identical bakers and a journey in a dough-made airplane.

The book's dreamlike quality and playful illustrations capture the boundless imagination of childhood.

It's a visually stunning and emotionally resonant work that explores themes of independence and self-discovery.
