How does a very small girl hide a very large lion?

It’s not easy, but Iris has to do her best, because mums and dads can be funny about having a lion in the house.

Luckily, there are lots of good places to hide a lion – behind the shower curtain, in your bed, and even up a tree.

But Iris can’t hide her lion forever, and when her mum discovers him, he has to run away and hide all on his own.

When the lion sees three robbers stealing from the town hall, it’s his chance to show everyone that he is, after all, a kind (and very brave) lion – just like Iris always said.

  • The first irresistible picture book about Iris and her lion.
  • A heart-warming story about a very special friendship, with a wonderfully heroic ending.
  • Painted in Helen Stephens’ much-loved retro style.

Praise for How to Hide a Lion:
