Books with title Dandy Lion

When the 'delightfully different, bright yellow and rather scruffy' Dandylion joins Miss Gardener's neat and tidy class, chaos and fun follow. But after one messy incident too many he's told to go home - he just doesn't fit in. It doesn't take long, however, for everyone to realise that too much neatness and order isn't always a good thing and everyone's desperate for Dandylion to return! At last, Dandylion feels like a wildflower in the right place! An empowering story about friendship, diversity and finding your place.

Dandylion is the new boy in Miss Gardener's class, and he's the most unusual student the children have ever seen. 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 general disruption, and the children finally must tell him that he gets them into too much trouble. Dandylion goes home feeling sad, and not knowing what to do. At home, he receives a friendly cuddle and a word of advice from his wise old Grandpa-Clock. Children will love this charming story, and they'll be delighted by the bright yellow splashes of color in the illustrations that appear on every charming page. Those bright splashes of color are, of course, pictures of Dandylion.

Sometimes it's not fun being a dandelion-getting tromped on, snowed on, and eaten alive. It's not fun watching the dandy, dandy lion, the king of the jungle, doing all the things a dandelion would like to do-like being the most powerful, the best looking, and especially, free to travel anytime he wanted. The dandelion thinks on these things as its wilted leaves curl in distress. And it sighs, "Oh, for the life, the abundant life." But what is the abundant life? The dandelion's not sure. And will it ever figure it out. Is this all there is? Some are dandy, dandy lions, and some are just dandelions. Where is the justice? Will the dandelion ever find it? Will it ever be able to rise above all the trials and tribulations of being a dandelion? Or will something or Someone help the dandelion see itself, the way God sees all His creations? Special, unique, and fit for the Master's hand.
