This book is probably written more with parents in mind, but I wouldn't recommend it for parents or children. Parents, your child won't just magically wake up one day having "bloomed" and be able to read, write, draw, eat neatly, and speak. Children, it takes practice to learn to do those things and not once is Leo shown to even try. I was disappointed because I love cat books of all kinds and, since Leo is a tiger, I was really wanting to like it.
