The Little Island: (Caldecott Medal Winner)
About this product
Children’s book legend Margaret Wise Brown—author of the cherished classic Goodnight Moon— and Caldecott Medal-winner Leonard Weisgard bring young readers an enduring picture book about the magic of nature.
Winner of the 1947 Caldecott Medal, this beautifully moving story centers around a little island in the midst of the wide ocean, and the curious kitten who comes to visit. As the seasons pass, the island and the creatures who call it home witness an ever-changing array of sights, smells, and sounds—proving that, no matter how small, we are all an important part of the world.

Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say The Little Island has beautiful, haunting illustrations and a sweet, timeless story, with a calming tone that works well for bedtime and young children. Goodreads readers echo that praise for the artwork, often calling it exquisite and evocative, though some feel the narrative is a bit choppy or random. Common Sense Media describes it as a beautiful, intriguing classic. A YouTube review titled Maria Reviews The Little Island by Margaret Wise Brown appears in the results, along with another YouTube read-aloud/demonstration video about the book.
