Venture into the minds of Ozma's magnificent guardians in this delightful tale. The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger, fearsome in appearance yet surprisingly timid, grapple with the notion of living up to their imposing reputations. Their comical internal debates about terrifying acts contrast sharply with their true gentle natures. When faced with a real-life emergency – a baby in danger and a mother in need – their inherent kindness shines through as they bravely come to the rescue. This heartwarming story, enhanced with charming new illustrations in the style of John R. Neill, explores the themes of inner goodness and overcoming perceived limitations, appealing to readers who appreciate character-driven narratives with a touch of humor. The unexpected contrast between the Lion and Tiger's thoughts and actions provides a humorous and gentle lesson about judging by appearances and the potential for kindness in even the most formidable creatures.
With illustrations inspired by the original artwork of John R Neill.
