Little Blue and Little Yellow

This is such a delightfully well illustrated book that introduces our differences and how we can embrace them at a fundamental level in a way a very young child can understand. I was delighted to find that this book is still in print so I could order it for my 3 year old grandson.

Children love this book! It’s a wonderful way to introduce primary colors. We even used a little yellow and a little blue playdough for act play and it was a big hit!

was my favorite book as a toddler. And I can tell it has a lot of success with kids I offered it.

There is nothing to dislike about this book; it explores differences, and unity, in simple fashion…the jump from an object such as a little dot, to people, is not far from the obvious, which is part of its beauty. Adults can learn a great deal from this simple story!

So simple and yet so touching; I loved it in Italian when I was very little (along with "Inch by Inch" by Lionni too), now my son loves it too and reads it in a different language than I did. Maybe what I appreciate the most is how this book can cross boundaries of time, language, and place. It is truly a universally enjoyable narrative.

I have been a Fredrick fan since childhood and still read it today when I get stressed, so always looking to have my kids find the same connection with the Lionni works. Got this and 2 of them were bored, but my 4 year old was different. She listened intently and has for months been making diffent associations on how things mix or work together for an end "just like little blue and little yellow". Perhaps she is the most like me, poor thing! It is in the same vein as the others but less obvious, which is not neccessarily a bad thing. Encouraging thought and imagination requires careful writing and too many modern stories spoonfeed the moral. I accept and encourage my 4 yr olds interpretations!

Favorite children’s book Teaches about team work Friendship And combining colors

This book was a gift. It is such an amazing story about being oneself but also being a friend. The illustrations are simple but beautiful. Perfect to inspire the young reader. The board book format suits little hands.

... je gelesen bzw. genossen habe. In diesen wenigen Seiten steckt so viel Weisheit, und es ist so schön umgesetzt, zeitlos schön, dass man nur noch staunen kann. Leo Lionni ist ja insgesamt phantastisch, ein absoluter Könner. Aber dieses Buch ragt selbst aus seinen großartigen Werken noch mal heraus, finde ich. - Viel Spaß und Freude beim Studieren und Schmunzeln und beim Mitfiebern und sich Freuen und auch ein wenig Weinen. - Einfach nur gut. - Albrecht Schnabel München.

Childhood favourite of mine and I’m 62. Lovely book and lovely story. Happy it’s still in print for my grandchildren.

Ho acquistato la versione cartonato. È di ottima qualità, le pagine sono belle lucenti, spesse, e anche la dimensione del libro è ideale per le piccole manine di un bimbo di 3 anni. Per quanto riguarda il libro, lo conoscevo già e l'ho acquistato perché consente di sprigionare la fantasia del bimbo.

Un grand classique de la littérature jeunesse en anglais. Cet album me paraît idéal pour travailler les couleurs, les formes et la taille dans ma classe de maternelle.

大切にしたい親子、友達の関係が、色と形で表されていて、簡単な英語の表現で、読まないでちょっとした言葉かけでも、理解できる。絵だけみても楽しい。素晴らしい絵本です。私はお子様に絵の指導をしていますが、絵本の中で青ちゃんと黄色ちゃん（人と人）が混色している意味とその表現が素晴らしいと感じます。
