An engaging tale of Lavi, an enterprising young lion, whose zany adventures from Africa to Pittsburgh should entertain young readers, especially Pittsburghers. Lavi is looking for a family (a pride) and eventually finds it with the “cubs” at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children. The illustrations are charming, reinforcing the idea of a very lovable lion. By Linda Dickerson Ages 3-8 32 page color illustrated
