Captivating preschoolers with his brilliant collages, four-time Caldecott Honor Winner Leo Lionni artfully weaves animal stories with human relationships. Today in the library, we read three of Lionni’s works: Swimmy, Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse and Matthew’s Dream. Told from the animals’ points of view, these stories center around friendships, dreams and hopes–all themes that connect directly to the BCD Pre-K curriculum and goals of Responsive Classroom.

We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Books are due back on November 2. Happy Reading!
