Illustrated by
Ruth Hearson.
Baby Leo, now "a big boy," goes for a checkup at the doctor. As in the other books about brown-skinned Leo (and his sister, Lola), the illustrations radiate diversity and sweetness: the waiting room shows a range of skin tones, a mother nursing, etc. The book's thick cardstock pages and rounded corners will make it one young readers-to-be will want to hold themselves.
