Leopold: the see-through crumbpicker

Leopold is an invisible creature who creates havoc as he devours every crumb in sight. How his good friend Minerva renders him visible - and where he ends up when she does - is the amusing outcome of this action-filled tale. Based on the book written and illustrated by James Flora.
