The House in the NightWritten by Susan Marie Swanson
Illustrated by Beth Krommes
ISBN: 978-0-618-86244-7
“In the house / burns a light. / In that light / rests a bed. On that bed / waits a book.” The journey detailed beyond describes a fantastical bird which spirits away the child on a song into the starry sky. While the cumulative tale may seem familiar, the pictures (mostly black and white) lead the reader into mystical night-time adventures. The book can be adaptedly sung to "The Green Grass Grew All Around."
Enjoy the story and keep singing. :)
The House in the Night is a great book. I use it in my curriculum too, although differently. I love the black and white pictures.
