For twenty years, the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Library Lion has captured the hearts of children, families, librarians, teachers, and book lovers the world over. Now it’s available in a deluxe special anniversary package featuring foiling on the cover, a poster with brand-new art from Kevin Hawkes, and special author and illustrator notes detailing their inspiration for the book.

Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren’t any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how.

KEEPSAKE PACKAGE: The bestselling, heartwarming favorite is now in a deluxe special edition that will make a beautiful addition to any family’s library.
