The Strange Picture - Children's Picture Books, #29

While walking in the jungle, Rabbit and Squirrel come across a strange flat object lying on the ground. Rabbit picks it up and discovers that it is a picture of a rabbit. He shows it to Squirrel who claims that the picture is of a squirrel and not a rabbit. Rabbit shows the picture to Badger who tells them that they are both wrong and the picture is of a badger. All the other animals look at the picture; Mouse says it is a picture of a mouse, Monkey says it is a monkey, Hedgehog says it is a hedgehog, Baboon says it is a baboon and Tortoise says it is a tortoise.
The animals ask King Lion for his opinion and he astounds them all by saying that it is a picture of a great lion. Just then Owl arrives and the animals ask Owl who is depicted in the picture. Owl looks at the picture and then explains why the animals are so divided in what the picture depicts. A fun read with a simple message.
