Tawny Scrawny Lion (Little Golden Book Classics)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

One of the bestselling Little Golden Books of all time.

Once there was a tawny scrawny lion who chased monkeys on Monday--kangaroos on Tuesday--zebras on Wednesday--bears on Thursday--camels on Friday--and on Saturday, elephants!

So begins the classic story of a family of ten fat rabbits that teaches the hungry lion to eat carrot stew--so that he doesn't eat them.
