PS
Lionel is a very big and loud rhinoceros who has trouble participating in activities with his friends. When he tries to ride a bus with the birds, for example, he squashes it. Disappointed, Lionel wanders into “an ocean of blue,” which calms him...and inspires him to create a game everyone can play together. Illustrated in bright primary and secondary colors (Lionel is the only one in blue), the appealing story adds a fresh take to a familiar plotline.
