Once upon a time, there was a story in this book. But a lion ate it all.

Narrated by a tall, handsome, and ever-so-dashing lion dressed head to toe in fancy dress, this is a hilarious story of how a greedy lion ate all the picture book characters and lies about it. The problem is, he just can't resist boasting about it!

The lion, while disguised, beckons the reader closer to find the culprit, while a rabbit hides in the pages, shouting out warnings until he bravely confronts the lion about his crime. Will he win? And will Lion ever learn his lesson?

A hilarious story with plenty of opportunities for group participation.
