A warm and wise picture book that's great for learning about respecting others - illustrated by the bestselling illustrator of The Hugasaurus.

Brian the Lion who Learned is the tale of Brian, the mightiest, bitiest beast in the jungle who is certain all the other animals love him... until one day he discovers they're all just too scared to stand up to him! Can the King of the Jungle learn to change his ways and think of others?

This delightful and gently thought-provoking rhyming text by acclaimed author Frances Stickley is perfectly paired with gorgeously expressive illustrations from bestselling illustrator Chris Chatterton.

  • Encourages an awareness of how what we do affects others in an accessible way.
  • The skilful rhyming text by Frances Stickley is a joy to read out loud.
  • Beautiful illustrations from Chris Chatterton, illustrator of Ten Minutes to Bed, Little Unicorn and The Hugasaurus.
