About the author
Margaret Wise Brown
395 books1,219 followersMargaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Even though she died nearly 70 years ago, her books still sell very well.
Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading.
She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem. She said she dreamed stories and then had to write them down in the morning before she forgot them.
She tried to write the way children wanted to hear a story, which often isn't the same way an adult would tell a story. She also taught illustrators to draw the way a child saw things. One time she gave two puppies to someone who was going to draw a book with that kind of dog. The illustrator painted many pictures one day and then fell asleep. When he woke up, the papers he painted on were bare. The puppies had licked all the paint off the paper.
Margaret died after surgery for a bursting appendix while in France. She had many friends who still miss her. They say she was a creative genius who made a room come to life with her excitement. Margaret saw herself as something else - a writer of songs and nonsense.

If you think you have a big family it's nothing compared to this little bunny's family. It's a great book for younger kids to learn the names of relatives (as well as to practice counting, as an added bonus), but I also really liked all the stories/jokes in the illustrations. Overall, just a fun book I bet younger students will love.

Uno de los libros infantiles que mi novio me regaló porque sabe que amo los libros infantiles y en definitiva, está no fue la excepción. Me sentí muy identificada, ya que vengo de una familia muy extensa y pude ver reflejados a varios de mis familiares en cada conejito.

Shout out to the lounge in Tokyo’s HND airport for supplying this kids book.
It was a cute story about celebrating with your family with nice big illustrations. Victoria also fell asleep for a nice nap while her aaji read it to her, but I don’t think that was related to the book.

This book is GREAT for teaching your students about numbers. The rabbit is getting ready for his birthday party and all of his family members were invited. In the book they were counting each family member, this is great for kids learning how to read numbers and count throughout the book. This illustrators were also nice because when we were counting it showed a visual of each number of family members we were counting. Would definitely use this book in my classroom.

The "two helpful sisters and three not-so-helpful brothers" and "four music-loving uncles and five busy aunts" reinforces sexist gender norms. I did appreciate that the birthday bunny could be any gender, tho.
