The Happy Lion

The lion at the little French zoo is a favorite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, €œBonjour, Happy Lion.€ Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbors in return. But, wait€"sacr© bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror?

€œLouise Fatio€s timeless tale about friendship still sparkles and Roger Duvoisin€s elegant illustrations are as engaging as ever in this 50th Anniversary edition.€ €"School Library Journal
