Before The Lion Became King

When the animal kingdom creates a law against the bigger animals eating the smaller ones, the lion is forced to live as a vegetarian until an accident occurs and the animals reconsider the law.

This is based on a story I told my boys one night. They wanted to see it on paper, so I wrote it out and then there I was flooded with questions - "What about the other animals that we missed - Gorillas, Tigers, Wolves, Crocodiles, Snakes, Zebras, Jaguars and the so many others?" I ask my young readers to read the book and color the pictures. Look up an animal, learn fun facts about it, write, draw and paint it in the book- the book has blank pages just for that! See how it becomes your own unique copy - just the one in the whole universe!

Gorgeously illustrated in a large-format album with two gatefolds and a stunning foldout of a jungle at war,The Tiger Who Would Be King is as entertaining as it is wise, as wry as it is passionate. Yoon's humorous images support this beautifully written text with wit and insight, playing up the comic elements, while showing the pathos as well.

It was a day of rejoicing on the African plain. A throng of animals had gathered to witness a great event--the presentation of the first cub born to Mufasa, the Lion King, and his queen, Sarabi. An old and wise baboon named Rafiki led the ceremony. Rafiki, the mystic of the Pride Lands, stood on Pride Rock and held the cub high for all to see. The animals below were filled with joy. The little creature held so high was the Pride Land's future King.
