my 3 yr old daughter and i chose this book at the library today based on the reviews i read from amazon; and the book did not disappoint. the story is very well written; simple and not too complicated, however, not so simple as to lose the interest of the child/reader. I am finding as my daugher is building her library, that most of her favorite books are the older ones, such as this; with very good and simple story lines, happy endings and simple illustrations. nothing too excitable, scary, or inappropriate for her age. this book would be great for 2yr old right on up to kindergarten.

I checked out this book from the library for my 3 year old daughter. We loved it and had a great time reading it with a french accent. We loved this book so much that she is getting it for her birthday to add to her book collection at home. This is a classic. Also check out the other "Happy Lion" books from Louise Fatio.

"Bonjour! Happy Lion!" My four-year-old son and I love to say this to each other. This is a classic French story book and such a fun one! I think it's just as much fun for me to read as it is for my my son to listen. It does have that 50ish-early 60's sort of feel to it because of the illustrations, but it's still timeless.

We love this book! Set in France, this is a story of a Lion who just doesn't understand why all his friends are afraid of him after he walks out of the zoo and into the streets. It is one of my 3 yr old's favorites, and mine too!

My two-year-old loves Happy Lion, and her dad & I love reading it with her. It is a kick to hear her exclaim "Bonjour, Happy Lion!" and "Au revoir, Happy Lion!" on cue. The pictures are nice and the story is engaging. We recently bought five copies to keep on hand as gifts for young friends.

This book was read to me as a child. I in turn read it to my children. And now we have the joy of sharing it with our grandchild. A wonderful story.

Such a fun book for kids of all ages. Especially if you use a fun French accent for the Lion's voice:)

This book is exemplory in style, plot, and insight. Its simplicity is pure genius. A must have for every family collection. of lion books

I thought this book was from 1982, but it's been "manufactured in Malaysia (whatever that means) in February 2004." It's brand new and in great condition. My only reservation in the rating is that with shipping charges, I paid about 80 cents less than I would have paid at a book store. So I didn't get any bargain.
