The Characters
Leo is a small explorer with a big, curious heart. With his puppy Pip beside him and a compass on his backpack, he sets off to discover the world one word at a time — through jungles, along coasts, and everywhere a new word is waiting to be found. Pip is his best friend and constant companion, a fluffy golden puppy in a little green 'PIP' bandana who's always first to spot what's hiding on the page. Together they turn first words into first journeys — so every page your child points to becomes a place you explore together.
