Publisher's Summary:
You would like being friends with Leo. He likes to draw, he makes delicious snacks, and most people can't even see him. Because Leo is also a ghost.
When a new family moves into his home and Leo's efforts to welcome them are misunderstood, Leo decides it is time to leave and see the world. That is how he meets Jane, a kid with a tremendous imagination and an open position for a worthy knight. That is how Leo and Jane become friends. And that is when their adventures begin.
This charming tale of friendship - from two of the best young minds in children's books: the author of the Caldecott Honor-winning Extra Yarn and the illustrator of the Bologna Ragazzi Award-winning Josephine - is destined to become a modern classic that will delight listeners for years to come.
Members Reviews:
Nice illustrations but found the story to be boring
I like the dark, retro-style illustrations but found the story "meh." I enjoy powerful and/or clever stories with few words (Jon Klassen's books come to mind) and there wasn't anything special this; the story didn't feel very original and there's one part where (spolier alert, ha) Leo tells the girl that he told her he was her imaginary friend but he's actually a ghost and I thought, no, she assumed you were imaginary (where are the editors?). Anyway, I like to evaluate books before I gift them to my nieces and nephews (and keep a few favorites for myself) but I don't recommend this one. If I could send this back this with free return shipping I would.
Five Stars
Very cute, my son's name is Leo and he loves this book.
My daughter liked this story.
It is sweet and not very scary. Can aid with imagination. It includes great illustrations reminiscent of the Madeleine series.
Good book
My 4 year old loves the story however he says it is too short and was not satisfied how the ending was delivered. He still says he likes the story and will ask for it again so it was good purchase overall.
Cute Book!
This is a different book, about finding a friend in an unusual place and accepting others as they are! We enjoy this book!
