"A little boy is looking for Lion. Lion is looking for lunch. There’s only one outcome that seems likely when the two meet in Miriam Busch and Larry Day’s book — an inappropriately gruesome one. But never fear! This little boy has backup: snapping turtles, hedgehogs, skunks, hummingbirds and a sneaky plan. And there’s a Lion inside this lion that you might not see coming. A killer combination of twisty wordplay, kid-perfect watercolors and characters that demand funny voices, Lion Lion is a read aloud sure to leave your audience delighted and you just a little hoarse. (For ages 4 to 8)"
