Summary:
The author describes in poetic prose the transition from dusk to night and night to dawn and the activities that take place during this quiet time.

Teaching Ideas:
The language of the book asks to be read aloud. The simple but memorable language provides excellent examples to demonstrate figurative language. Using the book as a model, students might want to contrast other similar opposites such as baby and child, school as a child and school as an adult, and holidays in a former homeland and holidays here.
