Leo
the Late Bloomer
By
Robert Kraus
This is one of my favorite stories to read with my
class of 3-4 year olds every year. We read this book at the beginning of the
school year and at the end. It’s a great
book to help children realize their own growth and progress. These little children that came in to us a
year ago were so little and unsure of themselves are now more confident and capable. They have grown up. It is
a great book to get a discussion going about how the children feel when they
are not able to do something. We also
talk about how it feels to do something they have never been able to do before. We teach our children to verbalize,
understand their feelings and express
them in an appropriate way.
Thank you for sharing in such a detailed manner. I was not familiar with this author, but now I will add " Leo the Late Bloomer" to my children's book collection.
