Uncle Shelby Spins a Skewered Story in Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Who knew a lion could be such a sharp-shooter?

Hardcover, Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back
Chapter OneOnce there was a young lion and his name was - well, I don't really know what his name was because he lived in the jungle with a lot of other lions and if he did have a name it certainly wasn't a name like Joe or Ernie or anything like that. No, it was more of a lion name like, oh, maybe Grograph or Ruggrrg or Grmmff or Grrrrr.Well, anyway, he had a name like that and he lived in the jungle with the other lions and he did the usual lion things like jumping and playing in the grass and swimming in the, river and eating rabbits and chasing other lions and sleeping in the sun, and he was very happy.Well, then, one day - I believe it was a Thursday - after all the lions had eaten a good lunch and were sleeping in the sun, snoring lions' snores, and the sky was blue and the birds were going kaw kaw and the grass was blowing in the breeze and it was quiet and wonderful, suddenly . . .There was such a loud sound, all the lions woke up fast and jumped straight up in the air. And they started to run. ...
