Description

When the teacher announces that the class will stage a play, Ari is thrilled because he knows he’ll make a wonderful lion. But shy little Ari is neither noticed nor chosen. He goes home disappointed, but suddenly in his room a roaring, growling, prowling creature comes to life! The flat illustrative style with its strong, kitschy palette gets away from usual depictions of the ‘soft, sensitive’ child, and captures the energy and fun of play-acting.
