Overview / 简介: |
From the creator of Lars, the little Polar Bear, comes another beguiling animal hero, Leonardo the penguin.
Leonardo 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. Whoever 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, with some encouragement from a friendly albatross, proves that perseverance pays off, and even the most impossible dreams can come true, is an uplifting story that will send young spirits soaring.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 3 - The creator of Little Polar Bear introduces Leonardo the penguin, who persists in his dream to fly, despite his peers' puzzlement. With the encouragement of an albatross that agrees to model, Leonardo attempts to create large, strap-on appendages, much like the wing studies created by his namesake in the 1500s. Luckily, the resulting crash reveals a snow-banked biplane. The brainy penguin studies the instruction manuals and takes his flock mates (plus the albatross as copilot) for a ride. Fuel runs out right after a perfect landing, and Leonardo's journey ends as he discovers the joy of "flying" underwater with his own wings...while wearing an aviator's hat, of course. De Beer's trademark watercolors and rounded characters continue to entertain. - Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I love the little polar bear books, and this is another Artic saga. Hans introduces us to a penguin who wants to fly. And who hasn't wanted to do what he supposedly can't? Great illustrations as I have come to expect from de Beer and a compelling story.
