Baby Animals

This bedtime story is a lost treasure. Margaret Wise Brown, author of Goodnight Moon and other beloved picture book classics, wrote it in 1941. Out of print for more than 40 years, Baby Animals has now been rediscovered and joyously reissued with new illustrations by Caldecott Honor Book artist Susan Jeffers.

Margaret Wise Brown's lyrical yet childlike story follows baby animals, their mothers, and the little girl who lives on the farm with them through the day, from waking in the morning to settling down, all snug and cozy, to sleep at night. It is a story that begs to be read aloud to very young children. And they will never tire of looking at Susan Jeffers's warm, reassuring, and utterly beautiful illustrations.

Baby Animals is a gift that will be remembered long after childhood is gone.
