(2) PS Lionni's first picture book is now available in board-book format. The transfer is effortless; no pages or text are missing, nothing is cropped or cut off. Illustrated with bright colors and simple geometric shapes, Lionni's minimalist story about the friendship between two different colored dots will appeal to the intended audience of very young children, fifty-plus years after its original publication.
