KPE Episode 399: "Follow that Lion"

Jessica interviews Makalita from Room 17 for this episode of KPE. "Follow that Lion" by Rosemary Hayes is a book in the Aussie Nibbles series.

Hector's mum does some very strange things, but even he is astonished when his mum brings home a lion, and expects it to be a vegetarian. The lion wants meat desperately, and so follows a mad chase. 

They say the author's message is to get a pet that you can look after properly!  And we're guessing that a lion doesn't quite fit the bill...
