The Day Leopold got Envious

Den dag Leopold blev misundelig

A Danish children's book classic, the picture book series now counts 8 books, as well as memory games and a cute teddy. The books are about emotions, something that never goes out of fashion. On the contrary, talking about emotions is more relevant now than ever before.

Dina Gellert (b. 1961) has drawn a wealth of children's books and her style is often described as happy, naive and humorous in the best senses of the words.

Synopsis

Leopold is at Top Pig's birthday party. Top Pig gets lots of presents, but there is one in particular that makes Leopold very jealous. So jealous that he does something really stupid that he should never have done...

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!

Reviews

"The Leopold picture books are incredibly popular for a reason, and like the previous ones, both text and pictures are filled with humour. The book can be used for dialogue about feelings, but can also be read just for entertainment. It is sure to amuse both the child and the adult reader." – (Lektørudtalelse (Library review)
