For one thing, he isn't really a boy at all, but a very cheerful and fun-loving bright yellow lion. For another thing, he's rather scruffy, and he has a way of getting into all kinds of mischief. Soon, Dandylion's antics cause so much trouble that the children finally must talk to him about it. Dandylion goes home feeling sad, and not knowing what to do--until his wise old Grandpa-Clock gives him a hug and a gentle word of advice.(back flap)Children's author and illustrator Lizzie Finlay is inspired by bright colors, imaginative stories, quirky characters, and their adventures. She lives in Manchester, England, and considers her job to be the best job in the world.
