Leo the Lop: Tail Two (Leo the Lop)

Rating:
Summary: Anyone can be brave, even if those who are small and cute
Review: This was one of my favourite books as a child, and I'm here to buy it for my little cousin.

In this tail, all the woodland animals describe how they feel; the owl feels wise, the lion feels brave, the bear feels strong. Leo the Lop says he feels brave, but the other animals scoff, saying he is too small and cute. When there is a forest fire, however, only little Leo can crawl under the choking smoke to guide the other animals to safety, proving that it does not matter what you look like on the outside, but what you have on the inside that counts.

As usual, this Serendipity book is beautifully illustrated and ends with a little poem giving the moral, most of which I remember all these years later. I highly recommend this book for all young folks.
