Andy and the Lion

Andy meets a lion on the way to school and removes a thorn from its paw. Later, when Andy finds himself face to face with the same lion in a circus arena, the grateful animal remembers his friend. James Daugherty's lively retelling of the tale of Androcles and the lion is filled with humor, action, and bold illustrations.
