Ages 6-11Hello my fine human friends! My name is Leo, the Lizard. I am the real star of these fantastic adventures you are about to read. I am always saving my pet humans, Super Marv and Clare, from all kinds of trouble. In Colossal Encounters you will see me save them from all kinds of creatures such as: a gigantic roly-poly, a colossal alligator, a giant tarantula and scorpion, and not so big (but very evil) bad guy named Stale Little. Stale, like most bad guys, has an evil plan to take over the world using a secret weapon.I really think the nerdy author of this book should change the name of this book to The Amazing Adventures of Leo, the Lizard. After all, if it were not for my genuis there would be no Super Dad adventures. I doubt the author will ever change the title of these amazing books because he is a human and is probably likes humans more than us little green lizards. Nevertheless, I know you will enjoy the book. It may be the best book you have ever read...because I'm in it! Eeech-Yah-Livah!!!
