Two New Books from Margaret Wise Brown - Author of Goodnight Moon




 Peter wants a perfect little pig for a pet. Not a bad little pig, and not a good little pig. Peter wants a good little bad little pig! So his mom sends the farmer a letter ... Does Peter get what he asks for? From the hidden treasures of Margaret Wise Brown, author of the childrens classics Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny.

My Thoughts

The Good Little Bad Little Pig is the amusing tale of a little boy who wanted a pig as a pet. He writes a letter to a farmer asking for a pig that is not too bad but not too good. The farmer comes through with just the right pig. Sometimes he's clean and neat and cooperates and sometimes he drives the little boy's family crazy with his antics. My kids loved the adorable illustrations and giggled when they were giving the little pig a bath and trying to get him to cross the street. But in addition to being a fun read, there is also a deeper meaning behind this tale. No one is going to be good all the time because no one is perfect. We have to take the good the with the bad and love each other regardless.This is a great lesson to teach our little ones.



Dreaming child, what you shall see, Deep in sleep might someday be. Explore a magical bedtime world of favorite dreams what will you wish upon tonight? From the hidden treasures of Margaret Wise Brown, author of the children's classics Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny.

My Thoughts

Wish Upon a Dream is the a nursery rhyme story about sleeping and dreams. The sweet rhetoric walks you through the dreams of both children and animals, showing you the various places they sleep and the whimsical fantasies that might fill their dreams. The book is beautifully illustrated and magical, even though there are times when the rhymes felt a little forced. My children enjoyed the detailed images of land and seascapes as well as the pages filled with visions that could only be found in dreams. Wish Upon a Dream makes for a great bedtime story that will help children's imaginations soar every time they lay down their heads.
