A Hungry Lion: Or a Dwindling Assortment of Animals

40 pp. | Atheneum | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4814-4889-5 $16.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4814-4890-1
(4) K-3 Animals disappear one by one, except for a hungry lion. They reappear at a surprise party, but the tables turn--again (and again)--until ultimately one unexpected survivor remains. All the carnage (both real and assumed) takes place off-page, potentially furthering confusion caused by the story's many twists. Illustrations in brush marker, gouache, graphite, colored pencil, and charcoal playfully contrast with the macabre undertones.
