Summary: Best Story Ever
Review: This was a wonderful story and my kids loved it. No matter what his mom always knew he would bloom one day. While his father and everyone was in doubt he mom believed in him. She knew that one day everyone blooms but not everyone will at the same time. When he does he is happy and so is everyone else. I loved this book!

Summary: A pleasing look at how children can develop differently.
Review: What better way to explain to a child that it's OK to be different? Leo the Late Bloomer is a classic of American children's stories with brilliant illustrations that bring the tale to life. Leo the young tiger doesn't lead a "normal" child's life and his Father is constantly worried that something is wrong with his son. Leo experiences many of the childhood frustrations that we are all too familiar with such as being unathletic, unartistic or ostracized by your peers. Over time Leo absorbs what the others have been doing and eventually blossoms with a newfound love for life. This book brilliantly conveys the revelation of a child discovering his or her place in the giant world. Leo the Late Bloomer is a timeless classic with a relevant social message and is an enjoyable read for any age child
