Every weekend, I host a feature called Kid Konnection -- a regular weekly feature about anything related to children's books. This week I'm going to share with you two cute board boards that are filled with adorable characters inspires by Caldecott winner Leo Lionni!
Spring is a time of budding trees, chirping birds, and croaking frogs. Discover these and more wonders of spring in this delightful board book inspired by the works of legendary children’s book author-illustrator Leo Lionni. With sturdy pages and colorful collage-style artwork, this spring-themed book is perfect for boys and girls ages 0 to 5.
Leo’s Lionni’s Friends is a series of fresh, fun board books inspired by the classic works of author and illustrator Leo Lionni to introduce his work to a new generation of readers. -- Random House Books for Young Readers
Discover alligators, beautiful butterflies, chunks of cheese, and lots more in this delightful alphabet book inspired by the works of legendary children’s book author-illustrator Leo Lionni. With sturdy pages and colorful collage-style artwork, this ABC board book is perfect for boys and girls ages 0 to 5. -- Random House Books for Young Readers
I woke up two days in a row to snow and I am so done with it! Hopefully by featuring A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT SPRING by Leo Lionni and illustrated by Leo Lionni and Julie Hamilton, I will send some positive thoughts to Mother Nature!
Another adorable book in this series is A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ABCS. Both board books are geared towards children ages 0 - 3, and I just love them. A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT SPRING takes readers on a journey with two fun little mice who feel exactly like I do right now -- "Hello, Spring. I'm so glad to see you." The story features all the wonderful things associated with that season like blooming flowers, chirping birds, sweet smells, and more.
A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ABCS might even be cuter... if that's possible. It's a traditional ABC book with different animals for each letter. I especially loved the "J is for joyful jellyfish" page. The collage-style artwork make the jellyfish appear to be textured -- so cute. Little ones (and parents) will appreciate these colorful illustrations... as well as the simple text.
I thinks it's wonderful that the publisher has created new Leo Lionni books for the next generation. I highly recommend these two books (as well as the entire Leo Lionni's Friends series).
Thanks to the publisher for providing review copies of these books.

Sorry about all the snow! Those books look adorable!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the snow. We have snow drifts as high as a house here. 12 days of no school so far this year due to snow or ice. I'm so over it! I loved Lio Lionni's books when our kids were little. I'll have to remember these for baby gifts!
