The king of the jungle has a positive message for kids, delivered in a lighthearted, fun way: you’re great just the way you are. Lion is tawny and majestic, with a beautiful mane. BUT, he wonders, what would he look like if he had spots like his friend, Leopard? Or glossy green feathers, like Parrot? Children will laugh as, one by one, the pictures present an amusingly transformed creature. In the end, though, they’ll agree with Lion when he decides that what’s right for another animal would seem strange on him—and he’s happy just as he is.
