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
