What it's all about . . .
When a very small girl named Iris befriends a very large, runaway lion, there’s only one question: how will she hide him?
Why it's on The Little Crooked Bookshelf . . .
Universal themes of friendship and belonging run through Helen Stephens’ sweet, silly story, brought to life by her lovely artwork.
Our favorite lines . . .
Iris heard her mom coming up the stairs,/ but she found it’s hard to wake a sleeping lion./ However, most lions will wake up if a mom screams at them.
Our favorite illustration . . .

Little ones will love pointing out Lion’s not-so-subtle hiding places, somehow just out of sight of the grownups.
Why grown-ups will love it . . .
A fun read-aloud with a lion’s share of heart.
