The Book
Leo, a city mouse, visits with Zoe, a country mouse for the very first time in the countryside. Zoe is baking a cake and leaves Leo to look around outside while she runs in to check on it. Happily Leo bounds out into the open air and into a scary encounter.
When Zoe returns she finds her friend scared and trembling. Whatever could be the cause of such fright? Leo finally stammers out that he just saw a ... MONSTER! Oh my!
Leo describes the monster to his friend: enormous tail that whips around, hard lumpy feet that can trample you, a long tongue that can rip half the earth apart and tear out trees, and two pointed horns that can gore you. This is some serious, dangerous creature. But is scary monster truly as bad as Leo imagines and describes to his friend?
The bestselling author of "The Rainbow Fish" series crafts a tale that is full of mystery, suspense and intrigue. Kids will have fun trying to guess what the actual monster really is and giggle when they discover the truth. The illustrations enrich the story. I recommend "Leo's Monster" to be read aloud as it is a captivating tale and that will have kids engaged right to the very end of the story.
