Synopsis

Leopold comes home from school and wants to watch ‘Fiddlesticks with Pig’ on TV. But that's not going to happen, because his mum asks him to tidy up his room. But Leopold doesn't want to clean his room, so he gets SURE... so mad that he runs away from home! I wonder what Leopold's mum will say when she realises he's gone!

The stories about Leopold are humorous, and the language is subtle without any finger-pointing, even though the subject matter can be quite serious. It all takes place in a fun pig universe with lots of funny pig expressions. There's always a basis for a good laugh - for both children and their grown-ups - and a good chat about emotions!
