Synopsis
In this witty tale of insistent parents and talking animals, a child questions his purpose.
In the country, there's nothing to do, except: admire. It's the same as being bored, but with your eyes wide open.
The hilarious story of grumpy city-child Leonard, forced to go for country walks with his greenery-loving mum and dad, is a wonderful reminder of what use we may be to the world. What do we know? What can we do? And is any of it of real value?
The Pointless Leopard is a charming tale for all ages, about the parts we play in the lives of others.

About the Author
Colas Gutman's parents were writers, and for a long time he was convinced that it was the worst profession in the world... Until one day the joy of writing grabbed him. And it hasn't let him go since. He is still a big kid, and writes his books in exactly the same way he used to do his homework when he was younger lying on his bed, using a comic book as his desk.
An author and illustrator, Delphine Perret has already published a dozen children s books of her own, as well as illustrating many others. Playing on words, sounds, senses and the unsaid, she teases the imagination of the reader with her pencil strokes, and draws them happily into a strange and very funny universe all her own.
