What is A lion in the night about?
In the middle of the night, a lion creeps into the royal nursery and carries off the baby. Soon the Queen, King, Admiral, Captain, General, Sergeant and a little dog are racing through the dark countryside in pursuit. Their lively chase passes ponds, bridges, fields and forests as they follow the lion’s trail. With rhythmic words, playful repetition and amusing illustrations, this exciting picture book turns a royal rescue mission into a wonderfully dramatic nighttime adventure.
