Captivating young people with his brilliant collages, four-time Caldecott Honor Book winner Leo Lionni artfully weaves animal stories with human relationships. Today in the library, we read three of Lionni’s works: Swimmy, Fish is Fish and Matthew’s Dream. Told from the animal’s point of view, these stories center around friendships, hopes and dreams–all themes that connect directly to the BCD social curriculum and goals of Responsive Classroom. We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Happy Reading!
