　　With delightful illustrations and poetic words, follow the
bunny as he greets all things familiar in “Your world. My
world.”
　　The perfect companion to the classic goodnight story, Goodnight
Moon.

　　Originally published in 1949 (two years after Goodnight Moon)
and out of print for more than 30 years, this melodic companion
narrated by the endearing rabbit child introduces those elements of
his life that he holds most dear. Brown’s minimal text has a
dreamlike, impressionistic quality reminiscent of her earlier book,
yet the narrative adheres to a child’s sense of logic as the bunny
strings together the items and activities that fill his day. He
defines his world in terms of his parents: “Daddy’s boy./ Mother’s
boy./ My boy is just a toy/ Bear.” In alternating spreads, Hurd
portrays simple, black-and-white images of items or pastimes (the
child’s toothbrush hanging on a hook next to his father’s; father
and son fishing together) and full-color scenarios (recolored by
Clement’s son Thacher) spawned by those images (the boy brushes his
teeth as one parent soaks in the tub and the other primps in front
of a mirror; the family gathers around the table to dine on freshly
caught fish). The final color spread underscores the volume’s
universality, as well as the little rabbit’s contentment: swinging
from a tree branch as his parents sit nearby on the porch, he
announces: “Your world./ My world./ I can swing/ Right over the
world.” The volume’s words and pictures stretch the boundaries of
its time-honored predecessor, affirming that there is, indeed, a
warm and welcoming world beyond the great green room. Ages 1-4.

　　For a small bunny, the big world can be boiled down to “My
slippers. / My pajamas. / Daddy’s pajamas,” and “Mother’s chair. /
My chair. / A low chair. / A high chair. / But certainly my chair.”
Back in print after more than 30 years, My World by Margaret Wise
Brown and Clement Hurd is every bit as reassuring and appealing to
young children as its more famous companion, Goodnight Moon. Using
the same format, this tale features the rabbit family as they go
through their day: brushing teeth, eating breakfast, going fishing,
reading stories, and climbing into bed. Black-and-white
illustrations alternate with full-color scenes depicting the
ever-expanding (yet still comfortably contained) boundaries of a
child’s life. In one image, the young bunny, clad in blue
coveralls, hammers happily on his wooden truck, while Daddy, in
matching coveralls, works on his own (real) car just outside the
garage. Very young fans of the classic Goodnight Moon will delight
in recognizing the characters, illustration style, and gentle
rhythmic words in this over-50-year-old picture book. For that
matter, older fans will be pretty tickled, too! (Ages 2 to 6)
