Toad food? Measle soup? For dinner? Leo just can't stand it. His mother's vegetarian cooking experiment is making him dread mealtime. And he suspects his dad feels the same way, even though he'd never admit it. Leo has his troubles at school too. in art class he puts lots of terrific Martians and spaceships into his picture - but the assignment was a realistic drawing of your home! His friends think it's great, but the art teacher doesn't agree. Mischievous Leo, whom young readers first met in "Don't Be Mad, Ivy", is badk, along with Ivy herself and lots of new friends, in five funny and very real episodes by Christine McDonnell, delightfully illustrated by Diane deGroat.
