Description
Mary had a little lamb LION!
Its roar was loud
and strong.
And everywhere that Mary went
The lion would
come along…
Mary brings her pet lion EVERYWHERE.
But when she smuggles him into school, Mary’s teacher isn’t exactly
pleased! She banishes him from school immediately.
But before he leaves, he discovers the school library, and curls
up to listen to the children read.
When two thieves sneak into the library to steal the books, can
Mary’s lion save the day and earn his spot in school?
For fans of How to Hide a Lion and The Detective
Dog, this spin on Mary Had a Little Lamb is
a future classic in the making.
An exciting new twist on a classic nursery rhyme, with a fabulously
feisty heroine
Abigail Harrison’s playful rhyming text makes this the perfect
story to read aloud
