Lionel the Littlest Lion

The littlest lion is about to prove the biggest heart wins the day.Lionel isn't like his brothers and sisters. He's the smallest lion on the plains -- too small to keep up, too small to join in, too small, everyone thinks, to matter. Left out of playtime, Lionel wanders off alone... until he meets Stan, an elephant who doesn't fit in either.Together, the two unlikely friends discover that what they lack in size and memory, they make up for in heart, speed, and plain old common sense.When the rains come and the rivers rise higher than anyone has ever seen, it's not the biggest or strongest animal on the plains who senses the danger first -- it's Lionel. With Stan by his side, the littlest lion must outrun the flood, rally the animals to safety, and prove once and for all that courage has nothing to do with size.A warm, gentle read-aloud for young children about believing in yourself no matter your shortcomings, Lionel the Littlest Lion reminds kids that every gift -- no matter how small it seems -- has the power to save the day.Share Lionel's adventure with your little one tonight.
