Our Thoughts: 

Silver Dolphin Books has put together a beautifully illustrated collection of Margaret Wise Brown's picture book stories that take only about 5 minutes each to read, making it the perfect book to grab for bedtime!

This wonderful collection of Margaret Wise Brown stories includes 'Count to 10 With A Mouse', 'A Song for All Seasons', 'Sleep Little Angel', 'Away in My Airplane', 'Wish Upon A Dream', 'Sleep Tight, Sleepy Bears', 'All the Families', and 'The Tickly Spider'. 

We've previously read and reviewed 'Count to 10 With A Mouse' and 'Sleep Tight, Sleepy Bears' this year if you're interested in reading those reviews separately!

Each of these lovely stories is around 25 pages long and takes about five minutes each to read. The prose is lyrical, short, and often rhymes so they could be rushed through in a much shorter time if needed.  

The stories are illustrated by a handful of different artists so each is unique with its own style but all are soft and dreamy with lots of color, texture, and detail. The switch-up made each story new and exciting!

Fans of Margaret Wise Brown will adore this collection!
