The Lion That Wasn’t, 1940’s Zinger, Oleg, FRONT cover ~Chinarose collection
This charmer is one of my most treasured childrens 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.

DO you know where I can find this book ??
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
