(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth McNally Barshaw. When two siblings adopt Leopold, a runaway circus lion, he becomes so lethargic that the circus won't take him back. With a new health regimen, Leopold returns to his former acrobatic self. The health messages are shoehorned in, and the circus situation is unclear. However, the secret-pet narrative is well executed and appealing, bolstered by dynamic visual depictions of Leopold and his transformation.
