Margaret Wise Brown: Awakened by the Moon by Leonard S. Marcus

5.0

An excellent read which details the life of a prolific author as well as the rise of children's books. I found the section of the development of Bank Street school and the early philosophies of what was appropriate subject matter for children absolutely fascinating. I also enjoyed the launch of Golden Books as I certainly owned my share of those books (when they sold for 25 cents)! Definitely of interest for those who enjoy reading to their children, like history, biography, NYC and Maine!
