Once upon a time, there was a story in this book. But a lion ate it all. Narrated by a tall, handsome and ever-so-dashing lion, dressed head to toe in fancy dress, this is a hilarious story of how a greedy lion ate all the picture book characters and then lies about it. The problem is, he just can't resist boasting about it! ​Dressed in his not-so-convincing disguise, Lion beckons the reader closer to find the culprit, while a plucky little rabbit hides in the pages, shouting out warnings until he bravely confronts our narrator about his crime. Will Lion ever learn his lesson? A hilarious story with plenty of opportunities for group participation, and an overarching theme of kindness, empathy and forgiveness. Includes a mysterious bite-mark out of the front cover... now who could have done that? "There has to be a lion hiding somewhere in this book. Dreamy, clever, awesome, strong. Come in closer for a look..."

His first words? “Bring Kid Normal to me!” This supervillain was responsible for stealing the powers from some of the greatest Heroes Alliance members of all time. Does Murph have what it takes to bring him down? With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this laugh-out-loud story proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
