Once upon a time, there was a story in this book. But a lion ate it all. Narrated by a tall, handsome and ever-so-dashing lion, dressed head to toe in fancy dress, this is a hilarious story of how a greedy lion ate all the picture book characters and then lies about it. The problem is, he just can't resist boasting about it! Dressed in his not-so-convincing disguise, Lion beckons the reader closer to find the culprit, while a plucky little rabbit hides in the pages, shouting out warnings until he bravely confronts our narrator about his crime. Will Lion ever learn his lesson? A hilarious story with plenty of opportunities for group participation, and an overarching theme of kindness, empathy and forgiveness. Includes a mysterious bite-mark out of the front cover... now who could have done that? There has to be a lion hiding somewhere in this book. Dreamy, clever, awesome, strong. Come in closer for a look...

I am a line, short and thin ... and this is how my line begins ... When a pencil line sets off across the page, there's no stopping it.
