Little Lion

This story was inspired by the first sentence in a San story found in the Bleek and Lloyd archive at the University of Cape Town. In that story, a man brings home a lion to his wife. In this modern version, Dad brings home a lion and says its a dog. His sons disagree – but is it? What is it? And how are they going to keep their lion a secret from Big Jonno? Clever humour from author and illustrator.
