I love this book!

"Leo the Lightning Bug" is a book that has a touching message that applies to each and every one of us. It is one of those rare children's books that imparts a feeling of self worth and courage. It is sensitive, funny, sad, and exciting - without a single unengaged moment. The illustrations are expressive and delightful. The enclosed CD is especially wonderful. The sound effects and music are beautifully incorporated into the story. The voices, including children's voices, make the story and its characters irrisistable.I love this book, and every child (or adult) to whom I have shown it, also loves it. I recommend "Leo the Lightning Bug" for everyone. It will be one book that you listen to over and over again and will want to keep for your grandchildren!

WONDERFULLY CHARMING

This is a wonderfully charming story about a little lightning bug learning self-confidence and lighting himself up. Extraordinarily well-written and well-illustrated, the book is both deeply meaningful and lots of fun. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Enhanced with an accompanying audio CD

Expertly illustrated by James Muscarello, Leo The Lightning Bug is a lavish color picturebook written by Eric Drachman and enhanced with an accompanying audio CD. The CD features the author narrating Leo's story, with five-year-old Benjamin Drachman as the voice of Leo. Sound effects and page turn prompts make the CD extremely easy to follow, and the delightful story of Leo's adventures makes for excellent reading just before bedtime. Leo The Lightening Bug is a welcome addition to family, school, and community library book/CD collections for young readers.

A totally charming book for young readers!

This adorable book not only enraptured me but it also delighted my six-year-old daughter as well. She not only read the book herself, she also played the CD and read along with it. Leo is just an enchanting little character who endears himself to young and old readers alike. I know I was right in there pulling for him to finally learn how to light up the night. I commiserated with him when his friends teased him and was joyful when he finally practiced until he got it right! I highly recommend this enchanting book. It is the perfect book for parents and grandparents to read to their children and grandchildren. It is guaranteed to delight readers of all ages.

A delightful tale that will help you find your light

This is a very charming story that's sure to make you smile. The illustrations are warm and expressive, bringing out Leo's feelings and emotions on paper. Reading this story reminds you that we all have a little Leo inside of us at one time or another, unsure of himself and insecure. But he learns, as we all do, that each of blooms in our own time.
