The Important Book

by Margaret Wise Brown

The Important Book Cover

Staff Pick

The important thing about this book is that you will love it. It is perfect for reading aloud with little ones. It has lovely, old-fashioned illustrations. And it is a classic, by the Grande Dame of children's books, Margaret Wise Brown. But the important thing about this book is that you will love it.
