All the Little Fathers by Margaret Wise Brown
4.0
Everyone is familiar with Margaret Wise Brown’s iconic works Good Night Moon and The Runaway Bunny, but she wrote so much more than just those two books. Many of her books were discovered after Brown’s untimely death at age 42 in 1952 - it boggles the imagination to think about what she could have accomplished had she lived longer. Now, many of her books are being published in new editions for yet another generation of young readers already falling asleep to the soothing text in Good NIght Moon.
This year, Parragon has published All the Little Fathers for the first time. Generally, when we think of babies, we picture their mothers caring for them, but sometimes, just like human kids, baby animals like to be with their dads, too. In page after page, young readers are introduced to baby animals and the things that they do with their fathers. The ending is rather nice, with all the fathers putting their babies to bed after a busy day. Richly illustrated watercolor illustrations by Marilyn Faucher lend much to each of the pages.
Margaret Wise Brown really knew how to write a great read aloud story and All the Little Fathers is not exception, having a nice soothing rhythm to it. This is a nice book for fathers and their children to read together, especially at bedtime.
This book is recommended for readers age 4+
