February 2018 Picture Book of the Month
All lions are fierce, right? Well, maybe, just maybe, this Lion – so well dressed and polite and charming – isn't too fierce for you...
Polly Dunbar returns with her wonderfully expressive illustrations and a tale that is simply a delight to read aloud. You may know her as the author-illustrator of the much loved Tilly and Friends series as well as other wonderful titles such as Penguin.
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. A Lion is a Lion is about standing up to the things that scare you but also accepting that sometimes a Lion is a Lion and that no matter how fancy or polite he may be would happily eat you up if he got the chance. ~ Shelley Fallows - You can also find Shelley here.
