We come quietly in with the golden key to find the light, the book, the bed in the room. Then soar to the sun in the moon and home again on the sings of a golden-eyed bird to "the house in the night a home full of light." Black and white scratchboard illustrations, with glints of golden watercolor accompany a truly hypnotic rhyme to gently settle a child for a peaceful sleep. Submitted by M.G.
