Leo's unhappy because he's a small, cute, fluffy bunny and he was to be big and tough like a tiger. None of the other illustrations stand out, though, and I'm not even completely sure what the moral of the story's supposed to be. There's one cute illustration, where Leo tries to look "tough" in the mirror. The art isn't as exceptional as James's best work, and the story is fairly thin and feels even more quickly wrapped up than usual. It's not bad and not great - it's just somewhere in the "average, largely forgettable" category. This book was never one of my favorites as a child. Fortunately, I guess Past Me had thought ahead a little, since they were still sitting in the trunk of my car, instead of joining the library donation pile from the summer. I'd thinned out my Serendipity books already, then slightly regretted getting rid of them before I added actual reviews to remind myself why I'd chosen to let go of certain ones.
