The Important Book

by Margaret Wise Brown
Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard

One Potato Review

Sounds threatening, but don’t worry: these are only suggestions, though they may have gained some currency in the sixty-something years since Margaret Wise Brown first proposed them. Is the important thing about a daisy that it is white? Or maybe its ticklish smell, or the fact that there are always lots of them? Feel free to weigh in: on the defining roundness of an apple, or a spoon, or the wind that emphatically blows. Or you, just you,  and whatever it is that makes you different than everything else. A rousing exploration, for many ages.
