Leo Lionni

Leo Lionni is an interesting writer and illustrator. There are several of his books that we just love, and there are a handful that are just plain strange. Aiden (age 3) still liked the strange ones, but my husband and I found them hard to re-read. Before you purchase a Leo Lionni book, I would recommend reading the book cover to cover at the library or book store. Then, you’ll know for sure if you’ll like it. Leo Lionni is a pretty unique writer. The stories he tells are well written and imaginative. Some of his books are Caldecott Honor Books. This shows you how good his artwork can be.

Here’s a list of his books that we enjoy. You can find more about the books on Amazon. If you choose to order anything through my links, I receive an affiliate commission. As always I only recommend products we like and ones that I think you will like as well.
