Margaret Wise Brown was a brilliant author in the field of children's literature. Having authored hundreds of books during her lifetime, Margaret was also a pioneer in her field. She held the strong belief that children's books should be written the way that children would want to hear them. Her stories have a very rhythmical tone and are uniquely illustrated. Margaret believed that books should be illustrated in the way that a child would see things. For this reason it is said that she often would bring her illustrators to draw in front of Kindergartner's classrooms in order to get their valuable input.
