Summary: Antidote for "Attitude"
Review: Did you ever wonder what life would look like if everyday conflicts could be solved with love and a sense of humor? Leo's collection of short stories will show you. They are set to rhythms to delight the child in you. They are examples of love the adult in you will admire. Each rhyming short story has a surprise ending. And each one reminds us that kindness, compromise and committment to life as an adventure opens doors to lasting love. Surely Leo's book is an antidote to the competitive fast-paced '90s and new millennium which offers no promise of relief.This book is a special treasure.

Review: Leo Carpenter's book is for anyone who is young at heart. The reader feels as if he/she is friends with William, Virginia and their cats. And, being a female, it was delightful to see that a male writer would admit that women do indeed have good sense--William and Virginia are true equals. The rhyme is lyrical and the story is even more enjoyable when read aloud. (I did buy the audio as well--and I highly recommend it.) Visiting the Altonberrys of Sandwich Bay is a trip worth taking--go there now!
