This little dude's got attitude. Leo radiates big mood, from the top of his bouffant hairdo to the bottom of his mismatched socks. His grumpiness slashes across walls in bright, spiky lines. It percolates from his pouty bottom lip. Only some unconditional love from his dog and calming techniques from his mom help Leo's day turn from grim to great. Many books discuss how to cope with outsized emotions, but this one reflects a different view, with art that pops and feels wholly unique. VERDICT A fresh rendering of a popular topic, detailing anger management with a welcoming point of view.
