(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. These two Caldecott Honor books are reissued as beginning readers. Lionni's text and illustrations work reasonably well in this smaller format. Some text is printed over the illustrations, and the large, clean design of the original pages is lost. However, fans may enjoy revisiting the stories on their own. The font is larger and broken into shorter lines, making the (now-leveled) texts more accessible. Review covers these Step into Reading titles: Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse and Frederick
