this book is surreal, but very sweet.
again, it is a callum favourite.
the phrasing is kind of weird and cal is mostly excited about the sneezing and the "thump thump thump" action words.
again, it's a gentle book that end with a song - the lyrics are there, but we have to make up the melody, which is cool because it naturally changes with each read.
it's the trippyness of the book makes it enjoyable for me as a parent to read.

The size! oh, it is all about the size and the fur and the tininess of the entire book, illustrations, and mood. I treasure the bazillions of times I read this book snuggling with my son - it was pricey for the time I bought it, but worth every cent. I have given this book as a gift over and over again and it is a simple treasure.

This isn't the right edition...The one I had was tiny and gray and made entirely of fur. It was nothing short of amazing. My sister still has it somewhere.
I wanted to lick the illustrations and adopt the little fur child and squeeze the little fur parents and dive right into the little fur house!

This book was written by the author of Goodnight Moon, a book every child receives several copies of upon being born. She was a Greenpointer and went to Bankstreet. The illustrations were done by the same guy that did the Little House on the Prairie books. The book is really quirky and the drawings are beautiful.

This is a funny little book about a simple day in the life of a little fur child. He runs out to have an adventure in the "wild wild woods" around his home. The use of the word "wild" repetedly in discribing aspects of nature is moody and fantastic. Yet the comfort and safty of his home is a sturdy presance.

This little book is so fabulous. It appealed to my kids so much, that now I have it memorized. Its a little hard to find (I usually have to ask the bookstore to order it if I am buying it as a gift), but worth the effort. I had a copy when I was a child, and am glad it is still in print.

There is one word for this book. Cozy. In Hebrew: hameshe. in Dutch: gezellig. Who can resist a little fur person who lives with his fur family in a tree and goes to visit his little fur grandfather? No one. It cannot be resisted.

Seriously, Margaret Wise Brown needed to lay off the crack. This book is AWFUL.
It starts out with a rhyme scheme that disintegrates after the first page. It reads like it was written by a senile drug addict.
Ugh.

(sings...) sleep sleep, my little fur child, out of the windiness, out of the wild..
get this magical and hypnotic little gem (i recommended the faux-fur coated cover) for special storytimes with the little ones.

The best way to read this book is one of the original editions with the fur. I had a repro with faux fur, and it's still one of the best books I've ever read.

You can read this 100 times and it still holds some magic -- especially when the little fur creature appears and you have to sing the tricky song at the end

I rediscovered this Margaret Wise Brown classic. It was my son's favorite book when he was little. Charming. Comforting. Lyrical. Delightful.

"There was a little fur family warm as toast
smaller than most
in little fur coats
and they lived in a warm wooden tree."

My family IS this family. They are warm as toast and smaller than most. They live in a tree. Buy this book for babies.

My mother made up a tune for the song that they sing in this book and she used to sing it to me as a lullaby.

I love this odd little book, and would sing the song to Mari while she held my hand under the covers. Awww.
