Age range 3 to 6

How do you earn a lion diploma? By looking fierce, prowling around, roaring, and—most importantly—looking out for your friends. Will this daring student pass the test?

This funny picture book is about a little boy in a lion suit who gets seven lessons from a real lion in how to be one. He doesn't do too well on the roaring and the prowling, but when it comes to protecting a friend, he turns out to be lion-hearted. Full of wit, both visual and verbal. - Sunday Times Culture

This fun journey of character development neatly turns the conversation from the cowardice of bullies to what it means to be lionhearted, all in a delightful, subduedly comic package. - Booklist, starred review

Agee's sentences are short and punchy, and he carves out gouache shapes in thick, deliberate ink outlines. He sets up a ridiculous situation with a straight face, approaching it with understated humour and leonine confidence. - Publishers Weekly, starred review

An outstanding read-aloud and a rewarding story. - Horn Book, starred review
