I’ve bought several Leos (& a couple of Barry the Elephant). They’re beautifully made & always incredibly well received. Love the ethos of the company. I ordered Leo online from Australia & he arrived direct to his new home in London within about 48 hours. Thank you.

Our son is not born yet but I hope he will like Leo the Lion. The quality of the Lion is superb, a lot better than what we expected. The material is very soft and colors are great, We also love its facial expression which is more friendly than what other lions had (we checked few other websites for toy lions). We can't say anything bad about it. We highly recommend it.

Love it! Soft, very well made

I purchaseed this as a gift for my very first grandchild born on September 9th, so she will be 3 months old when I give it to her.
She was born with a rare heart condition, and she is very unique, so I wanted her to know she can roar like a Lion, and the world should hear her voice! I will send a picture late when I get one on Christimas Day!
