This classic picture book from the 1950s is as fresh and relevant as ever today, touching on themes of prejudice and friendship.
The lion at the little French zoo is a favourite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, 'Bonjour, Happy Lion.' Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbours in return. But, wait sacré bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror? It's up to young Francois, the Happy Lions's friend, to save the day.
Gorgeous retro art in bold colours, and the first in a series.
