LITTLE FUR FAMILY
by Margaret Wise Brown illustrated by Garth Williams
The new edition of this gentle little story is, we think, much more successful in its present simple form than in the furry novelty format in which it first appeared in 1946. With the size expanded and the fur jacket removed this sleepy-time story, with its lovely, quiet text about a little fur child and his happy day, has the exquisitely colored and detailed pictures by Garth Williams — deep, green woods, sunny streams and house. A soft lulling repetitious style is a perfect bridge between waking and sleep.
