Christian, the Hugging Lion

32 pp. | Simon | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-8662-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. After their pet lion outgrows their London apartment, his owners send him to Kenya; incredibly, he remembers them when they later visit. Based on actual events (a 1970s video of the reunion became an Internet sensation in 2008), the sweet story is conspicuously padded for the picture-book format. Sandy-hued watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations capture the era's bell-bottomed glory.
