Summary: After receiving the key to a house, a little girl experiences the joys of reading a good book. On the wings of a bird from a book, she explores the night and sees the sun and the moon up close. Finally, the little girl returns home with the realization that the real place to find the light is in a home full of love.
Recommendation: This is a good book for beginning readers. There are few words and very descriptive pictures. I would use this book with students who are transitioning from reading words to reading phrases.
