I Want a Lion

Jules has a plan, a wild plan. He wants a pet, but first he has to convince his reluctant mum. Jules asks for a lion! Then he tries for a hippo. He even says he wants a goat. ''OK, so what about a parrot?'' Jules asks. Mark Janssen''s noisy, boisterous i llustrations bring this romping story to life. Animals from Jules'' imagination swing and stomp on to the page, from a grinning gorilla to a huge hippo with yellow teeth. Children will love the fun premise of the book. And it won''t be long before parents ar e asked, ''Please may I have a pet lion?''.
