kitten being threatened, and discovers he has the seventh step, 'Looking Out for Your Friends' down pat...

Although nowhere near as amusing as It's Only Stanley or The Other Side of Town (my personal favorite, of Agee's titles), Lion Lessons is still an engaging and humorous tale, one which will keep young would-be lions entertained. The artwork is charming, and well-suited to the humor of the story. The lion instructor's droll expressions, whether of chagrin, when his pupil fails to perform as expected, or of amazement, when he does, were particularly appealing. Recommended to young children who dream of becoming something else, or who enjoy quirky and humorous tales, as well as to all Jon Agee fans.
