Margaret was an imaginative child who loved adventure and the outdoors.

She had more than one hundred books published during her lifetime and left behind a trove of unpublished works found after her death. The word “prolific” seems almost inadequate to describe Margaret Wise Brown’s output.

What she produced was innovative and fresh, making her one of the driving forces behind the mid-twentieth century revolution in children’s book publishing — not only as a writer, but as an editor.]]> 2021-11-14 20:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889641839 Book Characteristics callianabagnell https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889642727 - Within a few years began writing books for children. She was determined to create stories that rose above bland sentimentality and portrayed girls as equals to boys.

- included many rhymes and poetic verses.]]> 2021-11-14 20:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889642727 callianabagnell https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889645488 2021-11-14 20:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889645488 Teaching Idea callianabagnell https://padlet.com/callianabagnell/vsyq5v9fu25cwwii/wish/1889648479
