Description
Leo discovers that there are wonderful adventures he can enjoy all by himself.
Quick Summary
Leo the Lop has those irresistibly floppy ears that kids adore, and in this third adventure he learns that being alone doesn't have to mean being bored. Stephen Cosgrove has this wonderful way of writing stories that feel both funny and genuinely touching at the same time - there's a sweetness to Leo's journey of self-discovery that really resonates with early elementary kids. The book strikes a nice balance between adventure and reassurance, making it perfect for kids who are just starting to read independently but still want that picture book feel. It does have a moment or two that might get a little intense for the most sensitive readers, so maybe save it for a cozy reading session rather than bedtime. If your kid falls in love with this one, Cosgrove's other woodland tales like "The Little Red Pen" or the first "Leo the Lop" books are natural next stops.
