The House in the Night is a poem that is about things that a child usually finds comforting during the night.Things like a night light, a bed, and a bedtime story are all mentioned. In the book the child goes up to the sky and to the moon and stars. After the child goes up to the sky, they return back to their house and begin to rest peacefully in their bed.
The House in the Night can be used in the classroom to teach about illustrations and the Caldecott Award. I would also use this book as a read aloud to teach about poetry.
