These soothing books introduce letters and numbers using familiar images from the beloved classic, Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd. Carefully re-imagined by Clement Hurd's son, John Thacher Hurd, Goodnight Moon 123 and Goodnight Moon ABC use artwork from the 1947 original redesigned in a bold and eye-catching way to engagingly introduce children to their first ABCs and 123s. Presented in a sturdy yet pleasingly miniature gift box set, this duo of books makes the perfect present for christenings, birthdays or baby's first Christmas.
Margaret Wise Brown wrote hundreds of books and stories during her life, but she is best known for Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny. Even though she died over 45 years ago, her books still sell very well. Margaret loved animals. Most of her books have animals as characters in the story. She liked to write books that had a rhythm to them. Sometimes she would put a hard word into the story or poem. She thought this made children think harder when they are reading. She wrote all the time. There are many scraps of paper where she quickly wrote down a story idea or a poem.
Clement Hurd is the well-loved illustrator of the classic children’s book Goodnight Moon. Before becoming a children’s book illustrator he studied art in Paris and worked as a freelance decorative artist in New York. Later he collaborated on many projects with his wife Edith Thacher. Sadly, Clement passed away in 1988. He will always be remembered for the tender, witty and enchanting world he created.
