"Louise Fatio's timeless tale about friendship still sparkles and Roger Duvoisin's elegant illustrations are as engaging as ever," gushed School Library Journal upon the release of our 50th anniversary edition of The Happy Lion. The Horn Book Magazine hoped several more would make it back into print. Alfred A. Knopf is now thrilled to re-issue another long-lost Fatio/Duvoisin classic. Originally published in 1957, The Happy Lion Roars offers the same "superb melding of text and illustrations" that made its predecessor so beloved (Horn Book), this time telling of how our hero's loneliness is cured when he spots a beautiful lioness at the local circus.

A delightful, whimsical tale of a lion who longs for a friend of his own kind.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Happy Lion Roars (Hardcover)
This is a new edition of a classic story originally published in 1957 and provides a delightful, whimsical tale of a lion who longs for a friend of his own kind. Roger Duvoisin's engaging drawings grace a fun focus on evolving friendships: now adults have a new contemporary version to share, and libraries can update worn copies with a fine new edition.

This review is from: The Happy Lion Roars (Hardcover)
Good story but not as entertaining as the first one. We will check others in this series but the first one is priceless.
