Book excerpt: Here in one sumptuous collection are four timeless picture book classics by Leo Lionni: Frederick, Swimmy, Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse, and Fish Is Fish. In this volume, meet Frederick, the poet field mouse whose happy memories help his family endure through the darkest days of winter; Swimmy, the imaginative minnow who uses his small size in a big way; Alexander, the mouse who learns the magic of friendship; and a fish who discovers that life in a small pond isn't so bad after all. An introduction by Eric Carle discusses Lionni's great contribution to children's literature. Lionni's complete texts and illustrations are included along with a CD reading in this elegant, inviting gift edition.
