Meet Leo and his friends — four curious kids ready for their next big adventure.
In Leo and His Friends: The Melbourne Adventure, students follow Leo the Leader, Penny the Planner, Sam the Spender, and Chloe the Creative as they continue their journey through Australia — this time exploring the vibrant city of Melbourne and the wild southern coast.
From riding trams through the city and visiting the Melbourne Zoo, to cheering at a real cricket match, walking through famous laneways, and traveling the breathtaking Great Ocean Road, the friends experience how planning, teamwork, curiosity, and courage help turn a big trip into an unforgettable adventure
Along the way, students see how:
Penny uses maps, transit cards, and schedules to keep the group on track
Leo steps up to lead in new and sometimes scary situations
Sam looks for smart choices and great deals
Chloe captures the world through art, imagination, and creativity
