New Releases by Shel Silverstein

In ''Lafcadio'' van Shel Silverstein wil een jonge leeuw vrienden worden met een jager - maar als dat mislukt, eet hij hem op en leert zelf schieten. Wat volgt is een razendsnelle opmars naar roem: van circusacts tot marshmallowkostuums en parades in de stad. Maar dan weet Lafcadio niet meer of hij een leeuw is of een mens... Op speelse wijze zet ''Lafcadio'' kinderen en volwassenen aan het denken: kun je veranderen zonder jezelf te verliezen? En wat als je nergens meer thuis bent?
