Lovely Old Lion

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Varley. As King Lion, lion cub Lenny's beloved grandpa, grows older, he becomes confused and forgetful--and "sometimes not so kind." To help him out, Lenny and Grandpa's friends encourage the old lion to recall happy memories from his childhood. When Lenny becomes king, he asks his young subjects to do the same for their elders. Expressive illustrations accompany this unsentimental but compassionate story.
