Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back by Shel Silverstein

5.0

When I was a kid I loved this book because it was a goofy story (a sharp shooting lion who loves marshmallows, so silly!) and was full of Silverstein's clever turns of phrase.
But as a grownup there are other lovely bits of humor to enjoy, as well as a pretty honest look at identity and depression. Definitely holds up!

First read in 1987.
Reread in October 2016.
