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.

The best series I have found for very early readers. The pictures match the text, the sentences are very short, and the words are words children use everyday. I highly recommend this book and others in this series for any early readers out there.

This is a fantastic book! My 5 year old son loves to read it to me after only hearing me read it twice to him.

This is a wonderful book, with funny illustrations, and easy-to-read text. I bought this book for my daughter, because she has become scared of any and all bugs. I was hoping this book would help her to get over her fear of these interesting creatures. She is only two, but already she can identify bugs outside with the bugs illustrated in this book. This is a great beginner book.

I wish this book would have used the bugs actual names (i.e. ladybug, caterpiller). This would have been a great educational book for introducing different bugs but instead it's... Read more
