Bookroo's summary
A tawny, scrawny lion spends his days chasing animals, but a clever family of rabbits has a plan. Can they teach him to enjoy carrot stew instead of hunting them? Discover how a simple meal might change everything for this hungry predator.
From the publisher
One of the bestselling Little Golden Books of all time. Once there was a tawny scrawny lion who chased monkeys on Monday–kangaroos on Tuesday–zebras on Wednesday–bears on Thursday–camels on Friday–and on Saturday, elephants! So begins the classic story of a family of ten fat rabbits that teaches the hungry lion to eat carrot stew–so that he doesn’t eat them.
