margaret wise brown



This is the book that Olivia asked me to read to her today.


This is the book that Elijah asked me to read to him today.





Both books are by Margaret Wise Brown - is she awesome or what?? There's something about the way she writes that is so poetic even when it doesn't rhyme. I really only read books to the kids that feel good to read out loud, and these books are way up there.

I love those books... duh, you know that! lol I just love Krispin's Krispian from way back and Little Bear is just sweet.

I really like Margaret Wise Brown. I also love Tasha Tudor (her illustrations are quite lovely and from what I've read about her she sounds like an amazing woman). We also like Ruth Heller--very colorful and detailed illustrations and her books on parts of speech are really neat. Matthew loves the book Parts by Tedd Arnold. It's kinda gross but it's neat for a boy. :)
