PS
A lion doesn't look so kingly when, one hot day, he unzips his fur and wanders around the jungle in nothing but his crown and underwear. Vibrant, textured images complement this spare, whimsical tale, which ends with another jungle animal donning the lion's fur and giving it back only after the lion promises to eat nothing but "dog biscuits, artichokes, turkey, and grated cheese" from then on.
