Lou is a brave young Lion who loves his mane. Everyone knows he is proud of it, but Lou has a secret. He is terribly afraid of going “bald”. One morning, he wakes up to find his worst nightmare has come true: His mane is gone! Lou looks everywhere for his mane, but cannot find it.
He decides to ask his friends to help. Giraffe, Snake, Monkey, and Crocodile work together to help Lou as he searches throughout the jungle for his mane. Finally, he spots something peculiar in the distance, slowly moving towards him. What could it be?
Join Lou and his friends as they solve the mystery of the missing mane.
My Review

An adorable story about one little lion. Lou wakes up one day and realizes something is very wrong, he’s missing his mane! Will Lou and his friends find it? I love the friendships shown in the book as well as how helpful all his friends are. There’s also a message – always ask before borrowing someone else’s things. It’s not right just to take without asking. The illustrations pair very well with the story. Really cute book, check it out!
