'Lennie the Veggie was a curious soul...who could often be seen eating food, from a bowl!'

A beautifully told witty rhyming story, with vivid illustrations about a lion who has a love of vegetables! Will he stay true to his beliefs...or give way to peer pressure? A delightful read for adults and children alike.

'Lennie the veggie was a curious soul…who could often be seen eating food from a bowl!’

In this beautifully illustrated and witty story filled with playful rhyme and amusing jungle characters, we meet a loveable lion named Lennie…who discovers the power of plants!

While the other lions can’t understand Lennie’s love of vegetables and try to persuade him to eat meat, Lennie is having none of it. He is a proud vegetarian and would rather befriend the other animals than eat them!

Author and illustrator Sue Banner’s lively rhyming text and bold, expressive artwork bring Lennie’s jungle to life with colour, laughter, and warmth - with just a sprinkle of toilet humour!  But beneath the fun and cheeky moments lies a meaningful message about peer pressure, individuality, and having the courage to stand up for your beliefs.

Perfect for reading aloud at home or in the classroom, Lennie The Veggie will delight young children and adults alike, sparking conversations not only about diet and where our food comes from, but about kindness, respect, and having the confidence to be true to oneself.

A playful note at the end of the story confirms that real lions do eat meat, of course, but in the jungle, all the food is free range!
