Yellow Lion The First Adventure in John's Colorful World

A charming & whimsical story in verse about a little boy called John who conquers his fear. What happens when Mom goes shopping & a yellow lion comes to visit? Welcome to JOHN'S COLORFUL WORLD. THE YELLOW LION is the first in a series of twelve books, each dealing with a different color & a different adventure. Yellow lions only visit when Moms & Dads go out. While older sister Pam talks on the telephone, John finds a solution to his problem. He grabs the vacuum cleaner & battles the lion, sucking it "right up the nose." When Mom comes home, bratty Pam takes all the credit for watching him & cleaning up the house. Imaginative, with clever rhyme, lively language & delightful illustrations. Will appeal to reluctant readers as well as those who "devour" books. Ten nature facts about lions are included. The child is also asked to imagine a world without color & then introduced to some of the colorful expressions we use everyday. The author is a teacher & published poet, with two collections to her credit. Available from your local distributor or CHICKEN SOUP PRESS, INC. P.O. Box 164, Circleville, NY 10919.
