For a small bunny, the big world can be boiled down to "My slippers. / My pajamas. / Daddy's pajamas," and "Mother's chair. / My chair. / A low chair. / A high chair. / But certainly my chair." Back in print after more than 30 years, My World by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd is every bit as reassuring and appealing to young children as its more famous companion, Goodnight Moon. Using the same format, this tale features the rabbit family as they go through their day: brushing teeth, eating breakfast, going fishing, reading stories, and climbing into bed. Black-and-white illustrations alternate with full-color scenes depicting the ever-expanding (yet still comfortably contained) boundaries of a child's life. In one image, the young bunny, clad in blue coveralls, hammers happily on his wooden truck, while Daddy, in matching coveralls, works on his own (real) car just outside the garage. Very young fans of the classic Goodnight Moon will delight in recognizing the characters, illustration style, and gentle rhythmic words in this over-50-year-old picture book. For that matter, older fans will be pretty tickled, too! (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
Product Description
Two years after the debut of Goodnight Moon, Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd collaborated once again, creating this perfect companion to everyone's favorite bedtime story. Now you can revisit that beloved world of a little bunny and his family. Together, gentle illustrations and poetic words capture the excitement of a young child exploring new boundaries, as the bunny greets all the familiar things in "Your world. My world." From one of the most popular author-illustrator teams in children's literature, this is a timeless picture book in which good morning is as reassuring and enchanting as goodnight.

 Adorable Companion Book to Goodnight Moon October 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My favorite childhood book is Goodnight Moon, and just today I finally read its companion book, My World. I thought it was adorable and I am excited to get it for my son.
This book has a different rhythmic scheme than Goodnight Moon, but I feel that it is equally poetic and comforting. It is fun to see the little bunny in settings other than the "great green room" and with his parents in different rooms in their house.
Like in Goodnight Moon, Clement Hurd's illustrations alternate between color and black and white, which I think is a great touch.
Although not as classic as Goodnight Moon, this book is a wonderful one to share with your children.
 My World June 2, 2008
This is a great companion to Goodnight Moon. My 3-year old loves that the little bunny is in another book.
 Just stick with Goodnight moon June 2, 2008
I was a bit disappointed with this one. It's from the author of Goodnight Moon, which I have to admit is far, far better. This book doesn't really have much of a flow to it and is really choppy. It doesn't even rhyme in some places. Anyway, my daughter really disliked this book and I recommend just sticking Goodnight Moon.
My World childrens' book February 21, 2008
I did not actually see the book - I had it sent to my daughter for my grandaughter, but she was very pleased with it and was planning to order it herself anyway, so it was a nice surprise as well.
A bit of a let down January 17, 2007

Be warned, this is not a repeat of Goonight Moon.
I guess it is hard to duplicate a masterpiece.
Still this book is an enjoyable bedtime story regarding the simple life of our favorite bunny family circa the 1930s-40s. The illustrations and writing to not compare to the orignal, but there is not much out there in children's literature which can. Still this is above average storytelling and my children enjoy it and that is all that really matters.
