The Stone Lion

By Margaret Wild
Illustrated by Ritva Voutila

For ages 5–9

Sometimes statues are granted a chance to become warm, breathing creatures.

The stone lion has only one dream – to run, pounce and leap in the park across from where he sits.

But one snowy night, when a baby is abandoned at his paws, he is compelled to think differently.
