Illustrated by
Roger Duvoisin.
The Happy Lion falls madly in love with the circus's Beautiful Lioness. He hides her in his cave at the zoo, and when the circus owner tries to retrieve her, the Happy Lion "roared the biggest, loudest, longest roar he had ever roared in his life," making clear he's not giving up his new companion. Duvoisin uses the same arresting palette for this rousing sequel to The Happy Lion.
