도서관의 사서인 메리웨더 선생님은 아이들이 도서관에서 뛰거나 떠드는 것을 엄격하게 금지합니다. 하지만 어느날 커다란 사자 한 마리가 도서관에 들어오자, 큰 소동이 일어날 것 같지만... 오히려 큰 도움이 되네요. 사자는 큰 발로 사뿐사뿐 걸어서 소음이 나지도 않고, 큰 소리로 으르렁 거리지도 않으며, 책 읽어주는 시간에도 조용히 경청을 합니다. 하지만 책 읽어주는 시간이 끝나고 더 이상 이야기를 읽어주지 않자 사자는 큰 소리로 포효하고, 사서선생님한테 단단히 꾸지람을 듣습니다. 다음날 책 읽어주는 시간이 되기 전에 도서관을 다시 찾은 사자에게 사서선생님은 꼬리로 책 위에 쌓인 먼지를 털게 하고, 긴 혓바닥을 이용해서 편지봉투의 풀을 붙이게 합니다. 이제 사자는 도서관에서 없어서는 안될 존재가 되었죠. 아이들을 등에 태워서 손에 닿지 않는 높은 곳에 꽃혀 있는 책을 꺼낼 수 있도록 도와주고, 책 읽어주는 시간에는 아이들은 사자의 푹신한 털에 기대어서 이야기를 듣기도 합니다. 어느날 사서선생님이 높은 곳에 있는 책을 꺼내다가 떨어져서 다치는 사고가 발생하고, 사자는 위급상황을 알리기 위해 어쩔 수 없이 도서관에서 뛰거나 떠들면 안된다는 규칙을 어기게 되고....

From the Publisher
An affectionate storybook tribute to that truly wonderful place: the library.
Miss Merriweather, the head librarian, is very particular about rules in the library. No running allowed. And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There aren't any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Michelle Knudsen's disarming story, illustrated by the matchless Kevin Hawkes in an expressive timeless style, will win over even the most ardent of rule keepers.
Child Magazine
No roaring allowed. That's the only stipulation Miss Merriweather the librarian places on her unusual new visitor at storytime: a lion. He turns out to be a model patron, "doing things without being asked. He dusted the encyclopedias. He licked the envelopes." But a thorny dilemma arises when Miss Merriweather falls and injures her arm: Should the lion break the rules and roar for help? Delicate, expressive pictures pair well with the understated humor of the text-which, for all its fun, may spark discussions about when it's okay to break the rules. For kids who love forays to the library, this is a must-read.

The library's no place for a real live lion. But what if it was a book-loving beast that followed all the library rules, enforced by head librarian Miss Merriweather? Well, that's a different story the fun, fantastical tale in Knudsen's entertaining picture book. Library patrons and staff are perplexed and a bit frightened when a lion arrives in the local library, checking out the collection, napping in the children's corner and making himself at home for story hour. But Miss Merriweather doesn't see any reason to expel this mane attraction if he abides by her rules (e.g., "No running!"; "If you cannot be quiet, you will have to leave [the library]"). Soon the furry fellow befriends nearly everyone in the place, and even becomes Miss Merriweather's helpful assistant. One day, Miss Merriweather is in trouble. Lassie-like, the lion gets her some help, and then banishes himself from the place for breaking the rules (he unquietly roars in order to get the attention of one of the librarian's colleagues). Happily, this heroic literary lion doesn't stay away for long. Knudsen's gentle tale of a revered yet welcoming community destination will ring true for many readers. Hawkes's (Weslandia) evocative, soft-hued acrylic-and-pencil illustrations have a timeless feel, depicting a cozy book-filled haven that any story fan would love to visit, rules and all.
Children's Literature
When a lion walks into the library, surprising patrons and uptight staff member Mr. McBee, librarian Miss Merriweather is content to "leave him be" since he is not breaking any rules. He wanders around, settling in at story time, where he roars when story time is over for the day. Miss Merriweather comes running, admonishing him about following the library rules. Chastised, he returns early the next day and soon becomes Miss Merriweather's helpful assistant and a favorite of the young patrons—but not Mr. McBee. When Miss Merriweather falls off her chair and breaks an arm, lion roars to bring Mr. McBee to her assistance and then banishes himself for breaking the rules. His absence extends for days, leading Mr. McBee to search the city for the lion and convince him to come back, assuring him that sometimes it is all right to break a rule. Hawkes' warm acrylic and pencil illustrations bring an old fashioned look to the book. His library is a blend of old and new—computers and a card catalog. Both Miss Merriweather and Mr. McBee are somewhat stereotyped, but that works in this gentle story. Their expressive faces and the lion's regal yet friendly stance will draw in readers who hopefully, like lion, will want to explore the many treasures to be found in the library.
"One day, a lion came to the library." Upset, Mr. McBee runs to report to the head librarian, Miss Merriweather. But since the lion is breaking no rules, he is left alone to explore and then nap in the story corner. During story hour he listens attentively, but when told it is over and time to go, he really roars. Since he is now breaking the rules, Miss Merriweather asks him to leave but says he can return for story hour if quiet. Soon Miss Merriweather has put him to work, dusting, licking envelopes, helping children. Only Mr. McBee still feels lions do not belong in the library. When Miss Merriweather has an accident, the lion has to break rules to get her help. He leaves then but is sorely missed. Soon it is Mr. McBee who searches him out to tell him that he can return, to the delight of all. "Sometimes there was a good reason to break the rules. Even in the library." Hawkes uses his acrylics and pencils to create a lion with a really appealing personality and a wide range of emotions. The rest of the cast and the hints of library furniture, including a relic card catalog, do not distract us from the sympathetic moral fantasy. The double-page scene of the lion giving a humungous roar that knocks McBee's glasses right off his nose makes a convincing climax. The lions stalks toward the library across the front endpapers, but on the back we see two lion statues in front of the library, perhaps a tribute. Lift the jacket to enjoy the contrasting cover.
School Library Journal
Miss Merriweather, head librarian and decorum-keeper, first meets Lion when he saunters past his stone counterparts and into the stacks. Scowling circulation assistant Mr. McBee seems intent on having the enormous cat ejected, but his boss declares that as long as he breaks no rules, he is welcome. The beast does misbehave though, roaring loud displeasure when storytime ends. At Miss Merriweather's reprimand, the contrite-looking lion promises to reform. In fact, he becomes something of a fixture in the building, dusting with his tail, licking envelopes, and serving as a stepstool for small patrons. Everyone appreciates him-except Mr. McBee. When Lion lets out another tremendous "RAAAHHHRRR!," the man bursts into Miss Merriweather's office to snitch-and there he finds her in distress, having fallen from a stool and broken her arm. Lion, la Lassie, has saved the day, but he is so chagrined by his own rule-breaking behavior that he doesn't return to the library. People miss him. Even Mr. McBee. A feel-good ending and a reminder that "Sometimes, there is a good reason to break the rules" bring the story to its most-satisfactory conclusion. Hawkes's deft acrylic-and-pencil pictures have appeal for generations of library lovers. They are rich with expression, movement, and detail. The lordly, lovable lion is a masterful mix-regal beast and furry friend-and the many human characters are drawn with animation and emotion. This winsome pairing of text and illustration is a natural for storytime and a first purchase for every collection.
