Margaret Wise Brown was an extraordinary woman who was ahead of her time. (And, possibly, ours.)

The quality of prose in this book was somewhat lacking. It felt repetitive, simplistic in syntax, and lacked the magic of Brown's excerpted poems.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It drew you in like a novel and left me wanting more.

Each chapter begins with an unpublished work of poetry by MWB. I knew nothing about her other than I loved her books as a child and as an adult (and parent). I enjoyed hearing where her ideas originated, she was so talented and creative.

Just couldn't make myself care enough to finish it.
