Caring for Your Lion

(3) PS Illustrated by Troy Cummings. A boy orders a pet kitten but gets a lion instead, along with a fourteen-step guide that serves as the text for this story. The guide's black-and-white diagrams are incorporated in the cartoon-style illustrations, and the contrast between the boy's experiences and the straight-faced diagrams is humorously absurd. The boy is persistent and caring, and the lion is rambunctious and loving.
