Augustus the squirrel is so busy praising himself that he winds up in the belly of a lion!

Reviews for The Amazing Augustus

Praise for The Amazing Augustus: ""Gregory’s digitally edited multimedia illustrations burst with color and humor in the details....The depictions of the lion’s discomfort and oversize burp are especially impressive. A giggly exploration of the senses, with a dash of bodily humor."" —Kirkus Reviews
