Poor Tom! No one will believe him when he says he's seen a lion carrying a string of sausages! This charming short story perfectly captures the feelings of a child whom everyone refuses to believe. Narrator Philip Jackson captures Tom's despair, his parents' frustration, and Tom's exhilaration when Clare, his classmate, agrees with him. Clare, the smartest girl in Tom's class, hatches a bold plan that Tom bravely sets into motion to prove that he's not a liar. Young listeners will be awe-struck by the lion and will identify with Tom's situation.
