There are seven steps to becoming a proper lion, including Looking Fierce, Roaring, Prowling Around, and Pouncing. Our young hero, a rather meek and scrawny human boy, does his best to learn the necessary skills during his training with a master instructor (who just happens to be a real lion). After a grueling set of lessons, the boy discovers that that the final step—Looking Out for Your Friends—is the most important of all. That’s how any kid can earn his lion diploma (not to mention the affection of every cat in town).
This is a fun story from Jon Agee. It builds well to a fun ending with, as you would expect from Jon Agee, some clever and humorous moments along the way. The illustrations are in Jon's distinct and enjoyable style.
