[Michlib-l] Searching for an old picture book...

[Geiken, Laura]

Thank you so much, everyone! I was able to find a copy of A Lion in the Night on MeLCat for her. I also convinced her to check out Pierre, too.

Have a lovely day!

Sure sounds like the patron has blended both books?! lol
Good sleuthing everyone - both books are recorded on YouTube, too, if that helps the patron decide.

I saw this in a review on Amazon for A Lion in the Night:

Every page adds another character, another chase, another place! The story ends with "I'm the King of the castle, and your'e the dirty rascal!"

I think the character in this book I remember is a girl, not a boy, but there is a lion.  The title is:

 "A Lion in the Night" by Pamela Allen,

Hello,



I am looking for an old picture book for a patron who read it to her daughter about 25-30 years ago. Below is what the patron remembers:

*         There's a little boy and a lion.

*         The only line she remembers is "I'm the king of the castle and you're the dirty rascal."

*         It was a small book with just a few lines on each page and very little color. She compared the illustrations to Maurice Sendak.

*         Book was published at least 25-30 years ago.



Does this ring a bell for anyone? Thank you!
