The House in the Night by Susan Swanson - ESSENTIAL

Swanson, Susan Marie The House in the Night, illustrated by Beth Krommes. Houghton Mifflin, 2008. PICTURE BOOK. 

Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

This inviting story begins with a key that belongs to a house. It builds up (much like the pattern of "This is the house that Jack built") to a book in the house that sends the reader through a splendid dream and back. 

Each page is a gorgeous black and white scratchboard picture with warm, yellow highlights-I wanted to climb into the bed, too! Kids will enjoy searching the illustrations carefully to find the girl on the bird. An ideal goodnight book.
