Description

"Dunbars unexpected sense of humour make A Lion is a Lion every bit as original as Judith Kerrsclassic Irish Times

"A deceptively simple and funny book" The Daily Mail

From the creator of Penguin and the Tilly and Friends series comes a wicked, rollicking read-aloud which asks the question: Is a lion still a lion if he wears a hat And carries an umbrella Is a lion still a lion if he arrives at your door and invites himself in with a How do you do (Isnt he polite!) And is a lion still a lion if he asks for a dance What about when he licks his lips and says, Oh yes, lunch would be lovely, thank you... Is a lion still a lion then

Reviews

A wonderfully raucous read-aloud romp. * Baby London *
a rhythmic, musical text which brilliantly involves the young reader in the unfolding storyline * Parent Talk *
Children will adore following the jaunty, ever so polite Lion as he asks to come to tea but whose manners firmly escape him when it comes to pudding. * Shelley Fallows LoveReading4Kids, February 2018 Picture Book of the Month *
This is a lovely book with rhyming text and funny illustrations. * Pat Thompson, Carousel *
Joyous and very funny with a bit of a dramatic twist; a wonderful story from an author who really understands children. * Fallen Star Stories *
