The Little Island

Little kitten and little island converse.  It's surreal and truly magical.  If you've never read the 1947 Caldecott winner "The Little Island" by Margaret Wise Brown you're in for a treat.  Margaret Wise Brown is a true poet and illustrations by Leonard Weisgard complement it perfectly.  It's completely charming and wiser than you know.  I don't want to say much about this book, but it will cast a quiet spell on you.  Probably many of you have seen and read this children's classic by the writer of "Goodnight Moon", but it's worth many reflections.  Highly recommended for all ages.
