Review
"Lionni's inquisitive, clever mice prove once more the value of the fable as a storytelling device, especially when it is simply told and beautifully illustrated. . . . A superior picture book." —School Library Journal (Starred Review)
“A journey worth repeating.” —Publishers Weekly

From the Inside Flap
Illus. in full color. "Lionni's inquisitive, clever mice prove once more the value of the fable as a storytelling device, especially when it is simply told and beautifully illustrated. Confined to a meadow behind a high wall, Tillie longs to discover the unknown world beyond the wall. It takes all of Tillie's determination to find a way to the other side. A superior picture book, this should be a perennial favorite for primary grade story hours."--(starred) School Library Journal.

About the Author
Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939. He was the recipient of the 1984 American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal and was honored posthumously in 2007 with the Society of Illustrators’ Lifetime Achievement Award. His picture books are distinguished by their enduring moral themes, graphic simplicity and brilliant use of collage, and include four Caldecott Honor Books: Inch by Inch, Frederick, Swimmy, and Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse. Hailed as “a master of the simple fable” by the Chicago Tribune, he died in 1999 at the age of 89.

One of our best Lionni's book
Reviewed in Italy on 18 November 2014Verified Purchase
Beautiful story about being curious and smart and find different solutions, also the main character is a female so added value especially for baby girls. A similar concept is from Lionni's book "Cornelius" that is beautiful as well. In my opinion, one of the best Lionni's book, together with "Swimmy" and "It's mine".

I enjoyed reading this book to my daycare class. It was interesting to see what each child thought was on the other side of the wall. A good book for the curious mind!

indispensable et actuel
Reviewed in France on 31 January 2011Verified Purchase
"Tillie et le mur" est un ouvrage indispensable pour contrer le racisme, le communautarisme, et les murs réels et mentaux que ceux-ci érigent dans les esprits. C'est un chef d'oeuvre d'humanité
