My Town Is Important!

My class really enjoyed reading Margaret Wise Brown's, The Important Book, this year. We used its format to write about "our important things". This project was presented to our parents in February, along with a PowerPoint slide show of "important" drawings that illustrated our writing.

Bev Dittberner has created a wonderful and extensive website in honor of Margaret Wise Brown.

"Margaret Wise Brown, author of Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny, is one of the best-selling children's book authors of all time. Her unique ability to see the world through a child's eyes gave a new and enduring dimension to picture-book writing. When she died in 1952, she left behind a legacy of books for children that continue to be cherished by each new generation of readers and listeners".
