Leo points out and explains fiction, non-fiction books, fables and biographies, displays, dioramas, and the circulation system. Suggestions for reading or telling the story, counting rhymes and easy-to-make lion crafts are included. Virginia Small's colorful, creative illustrations energize and emphasize the wonders and importance of libraries in a child's life.
