Simply Good Books
What makes a good picture book that your children will be sure to enjoy? Look for a good story with excellent pictures that help tell the story. Look at how the story is told. This is every bit as important as what the story is about. Margaret Wise Brown, a teacher of two- to five-year-olds, has written many books for young children. Her books show you what you should look for in picture books: repetition, rhyme, question-answer patterns, predictable story patterns, and page turns that enhance the story.
Here are some Margaret Wise Brown books that your children will enjoy:
