Fun Story, Beautifully Illustrated

I wanted to get a book about African animals for my two year old neice- a simple story, with morals explained in a fun and engaging way. As soon as I saw LAZY LION by Mwenye Hadithi I knew I found my book! The story is simple: The Lion, King of Animals, asks his subjects to find him a home. But he is very picky and lazy - this house is too big, that house is too small, this house is too wet...nothing pleases him. When it rains, all the animals rush into their houses, leaving the LAZY LION wandering across the great African plains, which remains his home to this day. The Moral? Don't be lazy and picky, either get what you need yourself or accept what is given to you with gratitude! Accompanying this simple but great story are bright, colorful illustrations which really capture the essence, the beauty of the African Wilderness.
