The House in the Night

This story does not fit the traditional story plot line. It's rhyming words take the reader from the entrance of the house to a bed with a book.  Then a bird sings about the darkness of the night, the moon, and the sun.  It tells the story backwards like other poems do such as "Hush, Little Baby."  With its cumulative rhymes an amazing illustrations, this book is a great rhyming book for young children to enjoy.  The pictures help the author establish the setting and reinforce the text in detail.
