A green lion. A red light. And one very unusual day.
As a green lion waits for a green traffic light, some surprises appear, such as lightning, a lilac, library books and lima beans. Or rather, "li-ghtning," "li-lac," "li-brary books," and "li-ma beans" because each spread ends with "Red light, green li-," and the reader must turn the page to see the whole word - and what's happened. Through it all, the lion calmly and helpfully deals with whatever shows up, and philosophically muses about the way life can be.
"Some days are not like most days," the lion explains. But as all children know: those days are usually the most fun!
