The Adventures of Beekle: the unimaginary friend by Dan Santat
(Interest Level: preschool to Grade 2)

The House in the Night by Susan Marie Swanson and illustrated by Beth Krommes
(Interest Level: preschool to Grade 2)
A spare, patterned text and glowing pictures explore the origins of light that make a house a home bedtime book for young children.
