Leonard the Lion: king of the beasts, master of the Savannah, leader of his pride and … a great big baby when it’s time for a haircut!
Nobody, NOBODY, can cut Leonard’s hair to his liking. That is, until he meets Marvin. Marvin is just a mouse but, oh, what wild and whacky styles he can whip up with his teeny-tiny comb and scissors… Soon, Leonard and Marvin are best buddies. The problem is, Leonard wants Marvin to cut his hair and HIS HAIR ONLY. So when Leonard sees Marvin giving Zebra a new hairdo, Leonard struggles with a spot of jealousy. A comedy of little and large, this high-energy story of friendship, sharing, and working together will have readers laughing out loud – and gently reassure any child who fears the hairdresser’s chair.

I liked how the lion got more confident when the mouse cut his hair.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It had a great message of overcoming fears, apologising, sharing and friendship. It had lovely illustrations and plenty of opportunities to use voices and expression.

He liked haircuts when he found someone he wanted to do his hair and then he didn't like getting his nails clipped. He was the bravest of the savannah but then he got a little bit scared when those things happened.

It’s about friendship

Some good messages throughout the book about friendship, jealousy, bravery etc but not sure that the story flowed all that well as someone reading it aloud.
