Summary: An affectionate storybook tribute to that truly wonderful place: the
library. Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about
rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But
when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do.
There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out,
this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are
quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children
at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore.
But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the
rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story,
illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless
style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers. (Credits: Scholastic)
