so-soThis story is unique in the way that it is illustrated with many horizontal and vertical lines, using all black and white besides a few hints of yellow, representing the light throughout the story. The stark images represent the calm, dark, nighttime scene and rhythmic story.
pickStunning illustrations and a very cute picture book. The book reads forwards and backwards about a girl who goes to her house, reads a book and imagines flying a bird in the night.
pickThe House in the Night by Susan Marie Swanson, Beth Krommes (2008). Caldecott Award Winner. This is a calming and imaginative story that takes readers on a journey through a house. The single light on the otherwise black and white pages creates a comforting atmosphere to the story. The contrast between the light and dark colors emphasizes the warmth of the home. The story leaves readers with a feeling of warmth and contentment.
This would be a great book for early learners. The repetitive phrasing makes it easy to follow along. This will build confidence in reading aloud texts.
