This was an artful little book, but I think the black and white palette combined with a POV that slowly creeps closer and closer into the house makes it a tad eerie. The repetative pattern could definitely be soothing to young readers, though! I think this is very much going to be a hit or miss with children.

I would use this book for primary. This book is about a girl going on an adventure duirng the night. The images in this book were very helpful in understanding the emotions of the story.

The illustrations within the book, The House In the Night, were not as appealing to me as other picture books. Although I liked the story of the book, I do find the illustrations quite exquisite, giving readers a sense of imagination and illumination. While the illustrations were great, I did find that they were also quite lacking in color and because of this the book has a lack of emotion that comes with color in general. The illustrations contain simple, delicate, and primarily pencil illustrations that contain some yellows in certain objects throughout the story. At first it looked as if the yellow coloring was centered around objects that give off light such as the moon, lamps, and stars. However, it seems that other objects throughout the story are also illuminated such as a stuffed bear, flowers, and books. I believe that the yellow illuminated objects are in fact items that are important to the main child character of the story.… (meer)
