My daughter Chlo plagued us for ages about having a pet lion. She only saw a big, furry cat with gleaming eyes and beautiful fur that she desperately wanted to stroke. She had no fear of the big cat's sharp teeth or an understanding of what a lion might need to survive. She was happy to impose her imagination - she simply wanted a pet lion. Our lion book for your kids reveals how a little girl realizes she cannot keep a wild animal as a pet. Parents can learn about letting their kids down gently.
