King Lion by Emma Yarlett
A delightful, funny story about making friends and learning to communicate from award-winning and bestselling author–illustrator, Emma Yarlett.
The lion is King and everyone in his kingdom is happy. Everyone, that is, except King Lion himself. The king feels lonely and decides he needs a friend. He tries everything: roaring “hello”, waving his paws, flashing a smile and even cracking a joke. But everyone just runs away. Then, feeling lonelier than ever, the king climbs up the tallest tower in his kingdom and roars and roars and ROARS! Now no one in the kingdom is happy. Until a little girl sees the king and comes up with a very brave plan to help him.
A joyful, touching and vibrantly illustrated story.
This warm and colourful book reminds us to reach out to people who might be in need, even if they have frightening voices and fearsome paws* The Bookseller *
A truly delightful picture book for Nursery and Reception children which looks at the desire that we all have, to have a friend... The author has given us a wonderful story that explores the need for friendship and how we can often misunderstand what people are trying to tell us through their behaviour. This can give us so many lessons about not judging people and looking for reasons behind some of the way they behave. It also shows us how to be kind and how we often have to make the first move. Highly recommended. * The School Librarian *
