Leo the Late Bloomer

De: Robert Krauss, Jose Aruego

Narrado por: Mary Beth Hurt

This heartwarming story of how a little tiger named Leo bloomed is told by bestselling author Robert Kraus.

“Captivating and rollicking.” —The Horn Book

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.

With its message of patience and humor, Leo the Late Bloomer is more timely than ever. As Children's Books and Their Creators 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."

Really cute story about being patient.

Good things come to those who wait. A good boost for a child's self esteem

This will keep infants entertained!

Synchronized images worked on my iPhone!

This would be a great short story to keep babies entertained. There’s fun music that goes along with the story and brightly colored synchronized images.

This story says it’s ok if you can’t read, write, or talk, you will get there when you’re ready which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars... Not the best lesson to teach kids who are learning to read, write, or talk, but that’s just my opinion.

Well written and organized by the author and the narrator has a joyous voice that’s not overwhelming or overpowering.

Where are the pictures?

We've been slowly going through and buying the books in the With Synchronized Images category. This one was placed in that category but doesn't show any illustrations other than the cover image - I wish we could get the illustrated audiobook version or exchange it for one that has pictures!
