Library Lion

Preschool Grade 2-Miss Merriweather, head librarian and decorum-keeper, first meets Lion when he saunters past his stone counterparts and into the stacks. Scowling circulation assistant Mr. McBee seems intent on having the enormous cat ejected, but his boss declares that as long as he breaks no rules, he is welcome. The beast does misbehave though, roaring loud displeasure when story time ends. At Miss Merriweather's reprimand, the contrite-looking lion promises to reform. A feel-good ending and a reminder that sometimes, there is a good reason to break the rules, bring the story to its most-satisfactory conclusion. A New York Times Bestseller!
