Leo's
list of things to do keeps growing, until one day he wishes, "If only there
were two of me." Just as the words are out of his mouth, poof! Another
Leo appears! Two Leos become three, three become four, and four become more
. . . but Leo can't help but notice that he has even more to do than before.
As he struggles to deal with his overcomplicated life, Leo realizes that there
may be a simpler solution to his overscheduling woes. Peter H. Reynolds, the
award-winning author-illustrator of THE DOT and ISH, returns with an important
message for readers of all ages: stop and take a little time to dream.
"Just the message
overscheduled families need in today's frantic world . . . delivered with humor
and terrific artwork." -- John de Graaf, national coordinator, Take Back
Your Time
