Review Quotes:
"A supplement to Brown's own charming books." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A competent introduction to a figure who will be familiar to many young readers." -- Booklist
"Margaret Wise Brown's singular mind and flair for the extravagant are expressed in this picture book biography. . . . Unlined digital spreads by Lawson have the feel of old cartoon stills; if the prose and art feel discordant with the creator's own work, this profile may nevertheless pique young readers' interest in it." -- Publishers Weekly
"Engaging, attractive." -- School Library Journal
