The Happy Lion Roars

The Happy Lion Roars

"Louise Fatio's timeless tale about friendship still sparkles and Roger Duvoisin's elegant illustrations are as engaging as ever," gushed <i>School Library Journal</i> upon the release of our 50th anniversary edition of <i>The Happy Lion. The Horn Book Magazine</i> hoped several more would make it back into print. Alfred A. Knopf is now thrilled to re-issue another long-lost Fatio/Duvoisin classic. Originally published in 1957, <i>The Happy Lion Roar</i>s offers the same "superb melding of text and illustrations" that made its predecessor so beloved (<i>Horn Book</i>), this time telling of how our hero's loneliness is cured when he spots a beautiful lioness at the local circus.
