Kevin Hawkes at Books Etc.

One of my very,very favorite picture books. A book that speaks to me as much with the pictures as it does with the text. This story of a lonely lion's adoration for his local library will mirror many people's own great fondness for the libraries and books they grew up with. Told with lots of heart and gentle humor, this tale of a big, cuddly feline and the staff and patrons who adopt him is made more memorable with fabulous illustrations by Kevin Hawkes. The combination move this book into the realms of such classics as Peter Rabbit or Winnie the Pooh. Books you simply can't imagine looking any other way. Playful, evocative and filled with a sweet beauty, this book conveys, as Kevin himself says, all the comfort one feels surrounded by your old friends on the bookshelves.
