Review # 1 was written on 2019-06-28 00:00:00 Irene Brunnthaler Bill Peet, I recently discovered, was an animator for Disney for a long long time and worked on most of the big films. He has a good eye and he has a great sense of story and an eye to make it all work. This feels very Disney to me and it would make a wonderful short cartoon. We have a lion who is very proud of his bushy mane. But, a spark ignites it and it is burned off and he is humiliated. The town gossip, a bird finds him in a tree and gets his friends. They sit around trying to think of what to do. It is the elephant who figures out to use crocodile tears. No one trusts the crocodile so only the elephant goes to get the tears. Crocodiles don't shed tears because they don't get sad, but I'll let you read it to see how the elephant does fill that bucket. It was good. The elephant brings the tears to lion and he wets his head. Overnight the friends are all tangled in a mess of mane. It is so funny. I can't believe he came up with this story. It is wonderful. I adore it. I will totally be reading more Bill Peet. The niece loved the haircut the lion ends up with. Both of the kids cracked up. Both of the kids just loved this story. They laughed and were really into the telling. They thought the crocodile was very creepy. Both kids were pleasantly surprised by this story and both gave it 5 stars. The nephew loved how tangled all the animals were in the mane. It was hilarious, they thought. I had to get this ILL; our library did not have it. It's too bad that this story isn't more popular. It really is a great story. It needs to be remembered. I wouldn't mind owning it.
