Poor Leo, a young tiger, is having a really rough time; all of his friends can read, write, draw, eat neatly, and speak clearly, and Leo can't do any of those things very well. Worried and sad, Leo wonders if he'll ever catch up to his friends. His father is concerned as well, and asks Leo's mother if their son has a problem. With love and understanding, she replies that Leo is just a late bloomer, and alleviates the father's fears. Finally Leo's mom and dad help encourage him, and Leo eventually does learn to draw, write, read and even eat, without making a big mess!
