Every time Mary sees me blogging she wants to know why I haven't changed the name of the blog to suit her formal name change.
In my first installment of my salute to children's books, I am officially changing the blog name to match my tumblr blog name.
Sleep warm in your fur is a line from one of JieJie and Mary's favorite books called"The Little Fur Family"
It was written by Margaret Wise Brown of "Goodnight Moon" fame. It was brilliantly illustrated by Garth Williams(Charlotte's Web and Laura Ingalls Wilder" Little House "series).
This book is about a family of fur creatures.(we really don't know what they are). The main focus is the littlest fur creature and his adventures . The story ends up with being sung to and snuggling.
The language of the book is very rhythmic and sing songy and the girls have always loved it and its testament to the virtues of being warm as toast and smaller than most.
A true classic
