Leo the Late Bloomer -- Robert Kraus

<p><strong>This heartwarming story of how a little tiger named Leo bloomed is told by bestselling author Robert Kraus and is accompanied by the wonderfully bold illustrations of Jose Aruego. </strong><strong><br/></strong></p><p><strong>"Captivating and rollicking." <em>--</em><em>The Horn Book</em></strong></p><p>Leo isn't reading, or writing, or drawing, or even speaking, and his father is concerned. But Leo's mother isn't. She knows her son will do all those things, and more, when he's ready.</p><p>With its message of patience and humor, <em>Leo the Late Bloomer</em> is more timely than ever. As <em>Children's Books and Their Creators</em> commented: Leo's reassuring 'I made it ' at the end delights young listeners who may have been scrutinized for early blooming by well-intentioned moms and dads. Deserves space on any parenting shelf.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Robert Kraus<br><b>Publisher:</b> HarperCollins<br><b>Published:</b> 04/19/1994<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.34lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.14d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780064433488<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 1.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>5522 / Leo the Late Bloomer<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 03/07/1994
