Margaret Wise Brown 1965
pictures by Garth Williams and Lillian Obligado
This was a nap time staple when my kids were little. I loved reading this gentle story and whispering the lines. Margaret Wise Brown paired with the illustrator Garth Williams is perfection! Our copy includes a couple poems, The Friendly Book and The Golden Egg Book.
Poor sleepy rabbit yawned and a bee flew into his throat and fell asleep. Now he can only whisper and must make sounds like "snow falling" or "a bug breathing" or "grass rustling" to try and wake up the bee. Reading this again last night brought back such nice toddlerhood memories. Charlotte even said at the end, "That was a really nice story".
