A humorous story based on The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Little Lucy Lupin may look like the sweetest, nicest, loveliest little girl in all the world, but she is a terrible liar. Three times she causes chaos in the library when she says a lion is on the loose. However she receives her just deserts when her lie becomes a reality. The story moves at a fast pace and would read well aloud. Guillerey’s artwork repays close observation, especially the facial expressions in the scenes of panic when the library is evacuated. The slow reveal ending of the book is a perfect match of text and illustration. I love the expression on the lion’s face! A delight for children aged 2-5.
