One of the bestselling Little Golden Books of all time.
Once there was a tawny scrawny lion who chased monkeys on Monday-kangaroos on Tuesday-zebras on Wednesday-bears on Thursday-camels on Friday-and on Saturday, elephants!
So begins the classic story of a family of ten fat rabbits that teaches the hungry lion to eat carrot stew-so that he doesn't eatthem.
