1950 THE LION THAT WASN’T CHILDREN’S BOOK

THE LION THAT WASN'T

The Lion That Wasn’t, 1950 Zinger, Oleg, FRONT cover ~Chinarose collection

This charmer is one of my most treasured children’s books featuring chows.  The pages are hard cardboard and each illustration is masterfully rendered with a sense of humor that shows the true essence of chow attitude and temperament.

      Cecilia,
      Am cleaning out my mother’s attic today and came across many of my childhood books including this one!

      Must have had it when I was about 5 years old as I came across Shirley Temple’s Favorite Tales of Long Ago that was gifted to me dated 7/30/1960.
      I am now 66 so the book has been in our possession at least 61 years…

      So funny how I still remember the chow with the purple tongue all these years.

      My sister had the companion book Animals at Home if interested in that too.

      Best,
      Andrea Harmon
