Library Lion

Product features

Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library: there's no running allowed, and you must be quiet. So when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library! Miss Merriweather decides that as long as the lion follows the rules, he is welcome.

As it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting - and he never roars in the library, at least not since being shushed. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how.

This disarming story will win over even the most ardent rule-keepers, with its feel-good ending and a reminder that sometimes there is a good reason to break the rules!

Extract from the book

One day a Lion came into the library. He walked right past the circulation desk and up into the stacks. Mr McBee ran down the hall to the head librarians office. "Miss Merriweather!" he called. "No running" said Miss Merriweather, without looking up. "But theres a Lion!" said Mr McBee. "In the library!" "Is he breaking any rules?" asked Miss Merriweather. She was a very particular about rule breaking. "Well no," said Mr McBee. "Not really." "Then leave him be."
