(4) K-3 After lion Leonard meets duck Marianne, they form an unlikely friendship. When Leonard is taunted by his fellow lions for not devouring Marianne ("you must be fierce!"), he defends himself--with a homespun poem. The book is acutely humane if a bit top-heavy with omniscient narration that spells out Vere's worthy be-yourself message. Placid portraits show the odd couple at play and deep in conversation.
