The lion at the little French zoo is a favorite of all the townspeople. Every day they stop by to feed him tidbits and say, ""Bonjour, Happy Lion."" Naturally, when the lion finds his door open, he decides it would only be proper to visit all his friendly neighbors in return. But, wait-sacre bleu! Why is everyone fleeing in terror?

Roger Duvoisin, a Caldecott Medal winner, wrote and illustrated 40 books, including those featuring Veronica the conspicuous hippopotamus and Petunia the silly goose.
