I am anything but ordinary. I am a dande-LION\, king of all beings. Golden-maned\, wise\, and humble\, I rule over all. See how this beast bows before me?” \n“Umm\, I believe that cat is simply taking a nap on you.” \n“Nonsense. This wise reader knows I am magnificent. ROAR!…*GASP* Why are you laughing? Stop that laughter!” \nTailor-made for hamming it up while reading aloud\, The Legend of Leo: A Dandy-Lion Tale is a silly and thought-provoking story that has fun with our collective desire to think ourselves special. Be prepared for plenty of giggles and requests to make wishes on dandelions.
