Lionel Lincoln Lawrence LePet

Who can frighten a bear just by saying "HELLO!"? Where do socks and shoes go to hide because someone is too loud? Meet Lionel Lincoln Lawrence LePet - a little boy with a very big voice who has a lot to say about "liking who you are just the way you are." In the meantime, Mom and Dad have had to find some pretty interesting ways to let Lionel be Lionel until he discovers his inside voice. And that can't happen too soon - just ask the Moon!
