Amazon.com Review

Robert Kraus's Little Louie the Baby Bloomer picks up where the 1971 classic Leo the Late Bloomer leaves off. This time, young Leo (the original late-blooming tiger) is on the scene to help his little brother Louie, who seems to be a late bloomer, too. Leo is distressed that his little brother can't throw a ball or pull a wagon, can't talk, and doesn't even know how to play--"So Leo stopped trying to play with Little Louie and decided to teach Louie instead." Day and night, these brotherly life lessons continue, until one day, on his own, Little Louie finally blooms. (His first word is "Leo," of course!) Simple, spare prose and the artful, endearing illustrations of Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey make this sweet story of late-blooming, patience, and sibling love come to life. (Baby to preschool) --Karin Snelson


From Publishers Weekly

About this sequel to Leo the Late Bloomer, PW said, "Little Louie's earnest attempts to learn are just as endearing as Leo's attempts to bloom were in the original incarnation." Ages 4-8. (May)

5.0 out of 5 stars leo and louie are just like my children, May 18, 2000
By Cindy Gwinn (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews
The first time I read this book I started to cry. It touched my heart so deeply. Louie doesn't play like other little kids, or speak either. This has his big brother Leo(from the first book, Little Leo the Late Bloomer)very concerned. Leo decides he will help his little brother how to play, write, and speak. To no avail. Soon Leo finds that Louie just does things differently from the norm. I have an autistic daughter with a big sister who is alway thinking of her little sister. This book is cute, warm and endearing. The illustrations are wonderfully alive. If I had enough money I'd buy this book for every big brother and sister with a special needs sibling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Louie the Baby Bloomer, November 28, 2000
By Becky Davidson (Cookeville, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews
I am the mother of a child with special needs and this book has a beautiful way of explaining what it is like to be different from typical children. I highly recommend it to anyone who knows a child with special needs. I am buying several copies to give to family members and friends to help offer perspctive on what my son's life is like. It is a precious story.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of our favorite books all time!
My child checked this book out from the library at school. When it was time to bring it back she cried and cried, so I let her keep it for one more week. Read more
