Lars der kleine Eisbär hatte meine Kinder durch ihre Kindheit begleitet. Die liebevoll gestalteten Figuren von Hans de Beer sind einfach wundervoll. Nun "lief" mir der kleine Leonardo kurz Leo zu. Die Zeichnungen sind so schön und der kleine Pinguin ist zu niedlich. Eines nettes Geschichtchen über Optimismus.

Lämmin henkinen tarina itseensä uskomisesta, unelmien tavoittelusta ja ystävyydestä. Pikku jääkarhu -kirjat olivat meille ennestään tuttuja, mutta Hans de Beerin Leo-pingviini oli meille uusi, miellyttävä tuttavuus. Pääkirjastosta lähtee seuraavalla käynnillä jatko-osa kotiin mukaan luettavaksi.

From cover:
Leonardo the penguin had a dream. He wanted to fly. Every day, Leonardo would smile confidently at his little wings and encourage them to grow. He'd stand on one leg at the top of the cliff, letting the wind brush through his feathers and imagine that he was flying over the ocean. The other penguins laughed at Leonardo. Who ever heard of a flying penguin? But Leonardo was no discouraged. Day after day, he practiced flying. He hopped and flapped and hopped and flapped, but it was no use. He never left the ground.
How Leonardo proves that perseverance pays off and even the most impossible dreams can come true is an uplifting story that will send young spirits soaring.
Leonardo is an adorable illustrated character who kids will not only cheer for to fly, but will fall in love with him and his friends. follow him on his way to finding out how it will be to fly and make some friends in the process.
