the way home in the night by akiko miyakoshi

The lights are on in many of the animal neighbors windows, so the bunny can see, hear and smell whats happening inside: a pie being pulled out of the oven, a party, a goodbye hug. A mother rabbit carries her young bunny home through the dark, quiet streets.

A deeper reading could encourage critical thinking by comparing the different pastimes of the neighbors or, ultimately, what it means to be home. A gentle, dreamlike tale about heading home in the night. This offers a perfect prompt for young children to create extensions of other stories they have read or heard. The book is intriguing in that it contains twice-told stories, once as they are observed and second as the bunny imagines them.
