Nordstrom further gathered hundreds of signatures in defense of the book when the School Library Journal shared a news item advocating for censorship of the book by diapering the boy using paint. It is only adults who ever feel threatened by Sendak’s work. I think young children will always react with delight to such a book as In the Night Kitchen, and that they will react creatively and wholesomely. I assume it is the little boy’s nudity which bothers you. We are truly distressed that you think it is not a book for elementary school children. I am indeed distressed to hear that in the year 1972 you burned a copy of a book. Nordstrom wrote to one of the librarians who burned copies of In the Night Kitchen: Letters of Note ran a letter written by Sendak’s editor, Ursula Nordstrom. Many librarians censored the book by painting diapers over the boy’s genitals, and in some cases the book was even burned. The book upset many librarians and adults because its young protagonist, Mickey, was depicted in the nude. Maurice Sendak’s books have been frequently challenged in libraries, in particular his children’s book In the Night Kitchen, an award-winning book that features a young boy’s dream journey through a baker’s kitchen.
