Margaret Wise Brown is another of the female literary giants. She has been called "the laureate of the nursery" for her achievements.

The third book in Brown and Clement Hurd's "classic series" also known as the "Runaway Bunny" series, it is the "companion" to Goodnight Moon was published just two years after that book in December 1949. It is dedicated to Clement Hurd's son Thacher Hurd, who was born shortly before it was published.

As the companion to Goodnight Moon, this story seems to be written in the voice of the same bunny child as they compare their world to that of their parents. While best accompanied by the pictures, the soothing simple verse might be what you need to get to sleep.
