Review
Herbert the Lion, originally published in 1931, was Caldecott Honor author/illustrator Clare Turlay Newberry's first book. Newberry's simple, now nostalgic illustrations provide a delightful background to this very sweet story of a little girl named Sally, and her insatiable desire for a real, live lion.
One day, Sally's mother indeed brings home a real lion cub. Sally and Herbert are inseparable. Faster than you can flip the pages, Herbert is a full-grown lion--a friendly creature, but fearsome just the same. So the postman stops bringing letters, the milkman stops bringing milk, and Sally's friends and relations stop coming to visit. Clearly something has to be done, but the thought of sending Herbert to the zoo is intolerable. How will Sally's family solve the problem of Herbert the friendly lion?
