His other award winning book

Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is now a movie and has always been a children's favorite. Did you know Into the Night Kitchen won awards also? And It's one of the most frequently banned books. Here's an article on the controversial book. I found this really interesting, I had no idea there was a holocaust theme to the story. My sister and I always loved it: "I'm in the milk, and the milk's in me! God bless the milk and God bless me!"

An excerpt:
The primary objection to the book, according to the American Library Association, has been Mickey's full nudity, including penis and testicles, through much of the book. According to the "2007 Banned Books Resource Guide" by Robert P. Doyle, the strongest language in a challenge to the book was in Elk River, Minn., in 1992 where challengers said it could "lay the foundation for future use of pornography." Doyle also notes at least one instance of short being drawn on Mickey in 1977 in Springfield, Mo.
Sendak, however, said the choice to picture Mickey naked was a purely practical one, noting that putting Mickey fully clothed though cake batter and milk could only make an ugly mess of his clothing.
In a 2003 interview on NPR's Fresh Air, however, Sendak did say he was trying to deal with another controversial issue in the book – the Holocaust. Sendak said the moustached bakers attempting to place the young Mickey in an oven was meant as a reflection of Adloph Hitler's orders to creamate those who were killed in World War II concentration camps. The ALA has not recorded a challenge on these grounds.
In an article on Factmonster, citing the National Endowment for the Arts, Sendak said that in his books he tries to help children deal with fears in a straightforward manner.
“The point of my books has always been to ask how children cope with a monumental problem that happened instantly and changed their lives forever, but they have to go on living," he said. "And they cannot discuss this with anyone. No one will take the time. Parents are embarrassed so they'll shush them up.”
In that same article, children's novel writer Stephanie Tolan also said challengers miss the point.
"There are many people (few of them children) in the world of children's literature (and rather more outside it) who are offended by some of Sendak's work for a variety of reasons," she said But I believe those to be the people who don't remember childhood, who have repressed it and like to look back on it as a lovely time of play and innocence and joy. Sendak has a real ability to enter the landscape of childhood—real childhood—and render its lights and its shadows, too."Read more: http://picture-books.suite101.com/article.cfm/maurice_sendaks_other_caldecott_childrens_book#ixzz0U2bhJhQZ
