The Biggest House in the World, by Leo Lionni

   The Biggest House in the World, by Leo Lionni, 32 pages
A snail dreams of having the biggest house in the world, but then he realizes he can't go anywhere.  This serves as a cautionary tale for another snail, who decides to keep a small house so he can travel light.  An interesting and minimalist concept for adults and children alike.  Awesome pencil artwork.

Little Blue and Little Yellow, by Leo Lionni

   Little Blue and Little Yellow, by Leo Lionni, 48 pages

I love the minimalist art of this children's picture book.  As with most Lionni books, the art is cool, the premise sounds interesting, and then the story kind of fizzles out without ever getting anywhere.  But blue and yellow make green.
