In this clever, inventive picture book, a child asks their father to tell them a story. But not just any old story, a new story. “And make it about a lion!” The dad begins, but the child interrupts again and again: “The lion doesn’t have to be SOOO BIG.” “Why is the lion so small? Doesn’t he eat dinner?” “Fred? I can think of a hundred zillion better names to give a lion!” Finally, Dad suggests telling the lion story together, and the reader is invited to fill in the blanks—and join in the fun. With lively, stylish artwork and plenty of space for imaginations old and young to add to the story, Tell Me a Lion Story is sure to become a go-to favorite.
