Her unique ability to see the world through a child's eyes is unequaled. Her many classic books continue to delight thousands of young listeners and readers year after year.

More About the Author
Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Even though she died over 45 years ago, her books still sell very well. Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading. She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them. She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often isn't the same way an adult would tell a story. She also taught illustrators to draw the way a child saw things. One time she gave two puppies to someone who was going to draw a book with that kind of dog. The illustrator painted many pictures one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the papers he painted on were bare. The puppies had licked all the paint off the paper. Margaret died after surgery for a bursting appendix while in France. She had many friends who still miss her. They say she was a creative genius who made a room come to life with her excitement. Margaret saw herself as something else - a writer of songs and nonsense.

This Goodnight Moon Bunny is our daughter's favorite Lovey,
By
This review is from: Goodnight Moon Board Book & Bunny (Board book)
We received this book/plush bunny set as a gift. We love the Goodnight Moon story, and read it almost every night. Our 8 month old daughter, while she thinks the board book is delicious, has adopted the 5" Bunny as her very favorite Lovey, and won't go to sleep without him. He is just the right size for an infant. He has a grey faux-fur head and "hands", and wears blue-striped pajamas with textured feet. His eyes are the bead-type, rather than embroidered, but they are very well attached. The ears are long enough to get into her mouth for serious sucking, and the arms are well-stuffed, making for good gnawing. His body is stuffed with the microbeads, and my only complaint (thus 4 stars, not 5) is that he is labelled "surface wash only". I have, due to the daily baby-spit, given him many baths, and he seems to dry out just fine.

This review is from: Goodnight Moon Board Book & Bunny (Board book)
This little board book and bunny make this package a memory for long time use.
Being a classic "read me a bedtime story", and being the size for a small child to handle, you can't beat Goodnight Moon for infants through kindergarten. Great package!

Goodnight Moon Board Book and Bunny,
By
This review is from: Goodnight Moon Board Book & Bunny (Board book)
This is a wonderful bedtime book, both for parents and their children. I like the board book especially because it helps the younger ones feel a part of "reading" and hold the book which lasts a bit longer in that it is more sturdy. It is a special story for a special time in the evening and creates a cozy connection between parents and their kids. I raised all three of my "babies" on it and buy it for anyone I know who is having a new little one. The stuffed bunny is a fun addition.
