"So smart and so cute and so dark all at the same time. Sheesh."
--Caldecott medal and honor winner, Jon Klassen.
Once upon a time there was a hungry lion and a bunch of adorable
animals...what do you think happened next?
There once was a hungry lion, a penguin (Well he was just here...), a
little calico kitten (I could have sworn I just saw him...), a brown
mouse (Now wait a second...), a bunny with floppy ears and a bunny with
un-floppy ears (Okay this is just getting ridiculous), a frog, a bat, a
pig, a slightly bigger pig, a wooly sheep, a koala, a hen, and also a
turtle. Hey! What's going on here...
The very hungry lion is all set to enjoy an exciting day with his other
animal pals. But all of a sudden his friends start disappearing at an
alarming rate! Is someone stealing the hungry lion's friends, or is the
culprit a little...closer to home?
With sharp wit, adorable illustrations, and hysterical twists galore,
this debut picture book asks--what do you think happened to the hungry
lion's friends?
