Tawny Scrawny Lion by Kathryn Jackson

4.0

The nephew brought this extra book to be read tonight. He had one wordless book and he said that didn't count toward our books read tonight. So we gave the Tawny Lion a turn. He has read it before and I had not. I love that the rabbits and their vegetarian stew were able to sate that ol' lion. To think that carrot stew would fill you up more than meat. I think this is probably the first vegetarian story.

Anyway, the nephew loved the book. He gave it 5 stars. I thought it was a cute story and the art work was decent. It's from the early 50s. I think it would mean more if I was younger. I did like those wily rabbits. They were sneaky and crafty and took out a predator without any violence. It's a pretty good moral.
