Leo Lionni is my favorite children's author, hands down, and I think Frederick is my favorite story. It's a great reminder that sometimes the things that are important can't be held in your hands. Perfect for preschool and up. Connections to seasons, colors, and the habits of animals.

Tonight we read both [b:A Color of His Own|225545|A Color of His Own|Leo Lionni|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320470909s/225545.jpg|460938] and [b:Frederick|864997|Frederick|Leo Lionni|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320435150s/864997.jpg|1920769] on my Kindle though the library READS system. These are great as Kindle picture books. The font in Frederick is a bit small but otherwise it works great. Id buy it for it a decent price. Glad we have a physical copy of Frederick andwe might look for one of A Color of His Own, but then there is always the library for that one.
