THE LION AND THE BIRD'S NEST

by Eriko Kishida ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1973

Nakatani's economically stylized lion embodies both the jaunty majesty and the appealing vulnerability of Kishida's aging jungle king. Jojo invites a sympathetic bird to lay her eggs in his crown -- then spends his last days sitting in the sun and listening to the new birds singing. It's a happy instance of symbiosis, with both words and pictures smartly geared to the youngest read-aloud audience.
