The Important Book by renowned children’s author Margaret Wise Brown is a lovely little book that teaches young readers what is important about certain things. It discusses daisies, spoons, grass, snow, apples, and other commonplace, everyday items. But the most important thing about The Important Book is what it has to say about you. Vivid illustrations by Leonard Weisgard accompany the lyrical, rhythmic words of the text and beautifully display the many important things described in the book.
