Bookroo's summary

Bush Baby feels isolated as Giraffe and Flamingo dismiss her for her size and color. But when Lion offers friendship, she must decide if his intentions are genuine or if loneliness clouds her judgment. In this whimsical tale, discover if Bush Baby's courage leads to true friendship or unexpected danger. Will she learn that appearances can be deceiving?

From the publisher

Bush Baby is so lonely–nobody wants to be her friend. Giraffe thinks she’s too small. She’s not pink enough for Flamingo. Lion, however, thinks she is just right to be his friend. And he’d never be so rude as to eat a friend, thank you very much. Is Bush Baby very brave, very foolish, or just very, very lonely?Learn to never judge a book by its cover in award-winning Russell Ayto’s laugh-out-loud tale of friendship and acceptance.
