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.

When my daughter was born in 1979, I wanted to share with her my favorite childhood book. At the time, there was not "the web", as we know it,or Amazon. I must have traveled 300 miles and visited 30 bookstores. As I anticipate a grandchild someday, I decided to search for this book.... and there it was... I have looked at it over 25 times. And, as an educated adult, I understand the personality characteristics I have which attracted me to this book. Hooray, for Amazon.

I like this story a lot, about how the gardeners make their vegetable garden and how they store the food for winter. There's a song at the end of it, too.
Unfortunately, the gold tape that binds the book is very poorly glued on and is already peeling off after only a few months (and we haven't read it *that* often, either).
I've seen older Golden Books without this problem, but the newer editions almost universally seem to have this issue :(
