Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Leo Learns About Kindness
Anthony Domenic LaLicata · 2020
62/100
👎 Skip It
Leo delivers exactly what a kindness-and-empathy picture book promises — clear moral, age-appropriate language, bullying handled gently. It does its job without fuss, but there is nothing here to surprise a child or delight a parent re-reading it for the tenth time. A serviceable shelf pick for classrooms that need the lesson covered.
