The Hungry Lion

The Hungry Lion is a charming and rhyming tale of two lions. 'Art' leads a predictable, stagnant, and safe life in a city zoo, while his counterpart, 'Leo,' spends each active day in a faraway jungle, facing fears, uncertainty, and all the danger that life entails. Philosopher and historian, Z.S. Ahmed, takes parents and children on a poetic journey, highlighting the pitfalls of too much 'comfort and ease' as well as the, often hidden, benefits of fear, discomfort, and doing hard things.

This beautifully illustrated rhyming children's tale is sure to become your - and your child's - favorite bedtime story.
