|author=Alexander McCall Smith
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=I had already previously enjoyed [[Precious and the Monkeys by Alexander McCall Smith|Precious and the Monkeys]] which is one of AMS' children's stories about his No.1 Ladies Detective Agency character, Precious Ramotswe, when she is a child. So I was looking forward to this one about a missing lion. I wasn't disappointed. Once again his gentle charm shines through, and this is a delightful book to read aloud or just enjoy by yourself, however old you may be!
