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.
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) --Emilie Coulter

Adorable Companion Book to Goodnight Moon:
My favorite childhood book is Goodnight Moon, and just today I finally read its companion book, My World. I thought it was adorable and I am excited to get it for my son. This book has a different rhythmic scheme than Goodnight Moon, but I feel that it is equally poetic and comforting. It is fun to see the little bunny in settings other than the "great green room" and with his parents in different rooms in their house. Like in Goodnight Moon, Clement Hurd's illustrations alternate between color... more info
My World:
This is a great companion to Goodnight Moon. My 3-year old loves that the little bunny is in another book.
Just stick with Goodnight moon:
I was a bit disappointed with this one. It's from the author of Goodnight Moon, which I have to admit is far, far better. This book doesn't really have much of a flow to it and is really choppy. It doesn't even rhyme in some places. Anyway, my daughter really disliked this book and I recommend just sticking Goodnight Moon.
My World childrens' book:
I did not actually see the book - I had it sent to my daughter for my grandaughter, but she was very pleased with it and was planning to order it herself anyway, so it was a nice surprise as well.
