Mary Had A Little Lion

Mary Had A Little Lion by Abigail Harrison is a playful picture book that twists a familiar rhyme into a big-hearted story about friendship, books and belonging. Mary adores her pet lion, and wherever she goes, his mighty roar and loyal presence follow close behind.

Trouble starts when Mary brings him to school. Her teacher won’t have a lion in the classroom, so he’s sent away at once. Before he goes, though, he wanders into the school library and quietly settles in, listening as children read aloud. When unexpected visitors arrive with the wrong intentions, Mary’s lion learns there are brave ways to help that don’t require making a scene.

Perfect for families who love humorous read-alouds, library stories, and gentle tales of courage, this children’s book is a treat for preschool and early primary readers.

Add it to your basket and let this lion win you over, one page at a time.
