The series starts with a happy cat who suddenly becomes homeless. From that moment of being alone, afraid, and hungry, the books create a world filled with friendship and hope, beauty and caring. They’re a nice mix of outer events and inner emotions; both ring true. The natural world is beautifully described, its wildness exciting and beauty comforting. The complicated feelings of a young one trying to make sense of a world that keeps changing too quickly will be easily relatable to elementary-aged children.
There are villains and dangers, but they are overcome with courage and teamwork by an endearing mix of talking critters: our hero Leo, his bestie Mouse, the wild and crazy MoJo, and their wise parents Theodore and Sophie. They’re aided in Leo and the Foxes by two unlikely duos, the wily fox Zelda and her adoring starling buddy Bradley, and story-telling Talib and clever Matteo, a donkey/dog retired circus act, in all their adorable glory. In Leo at the Circus the crew goes to The Hummingbird Circus to rescue a kidnapped bear cub, and meets a fabulous array of humans and animals. The stage is set for so much more.
“Leo and Mouse looked at one another and laughed.
It was good to have a friend.”
The Vision
Teach Neighborliness
Be kind. Share food. Tell the truth.
Laugh more. Make things better.
The stories have been read aloud and tested with both preschoolers, chapter-book readers, parents, and grands, all equally engaged and with cross-generational appeal.
