Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back

Shel Silverstein's first children's book, Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back—a whimsical tale of self-discovery and marshmallows—is celebrating its 60th anniversary!

Is a famous, successful, and admired lion a happy lion? Or is he a lion at all?  Written and drawn with wit and gusto, Shel Silverstein's modern fable speaks not only to children but to us all!
