Leo's Little Ouch
Ouch! Leo has hurt himself! Another adventure with our favourite little leopard.
Leo loves playing with his friends, trying ever more acrobatic slides. One day… crash! The whole gang tumbles, and Leo hurts his knee. Disaster! To avoid the “stingy water”, he hides his little ouch for a while, until his parents find out the truth.
With a little imagination and lots of care, Dad applies the stingy water — but without the sting — and puts a super stylish plaster on Leo’s knee.
A new adventure for Leo, once again rooted in the everyday life of young children. Here, Leo shows himself to be more daring. Many young readers will recognise themselves in his little fibs to hide a mischief or avoid an unpleasant moment, as well as in the small ouches that can turn into a big drama.IN THE SAME SERIES
