Review
In her signature style of magic and grace, Pamela Zagarenski tells the story of the love between a small boy, Henry and his favorite stuffed toy, Leo the lion. to Henry, Leo is as real as his family. On a walk through the woods, Leo is accidental left behind. After a search of the area, both inside and out, Henry and Leo both face a night without each other. In word and large dreamy illustrations, the reader sees Leo's journey home. this story of love and friendship, of what is real , what is magical and what the heart knows is a must read for every parent and child. Zagarenski has a gift of putting feelings into pictures that can be enjoyed by both reader and listener. It is a beautiful book!
