Recensione:

"A rich story both in appearance and theme. Even preschoolers can have a book discussion about this one." —Booklist

"[Lionni] creates a world of adventure and consequence from a wonderously minimal set of objects and words." —Publishers Weekly

"A fine, cheerful example of an ethical, philosophical idea cast as a delightful picture book." —The Horn Book Magazine

"A delightful story. The book has potential for prompting classroom discussions." —School Library Journal

L'autore:

Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as “a master of the simple fable” by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.
