3CS: The Butterfly Lion
by Michael Morpurgo
Bertie rescues an orphaned white lion cub from the African veld. They are inseparable until Bertie is sent to boarding school far away in England and the lion is sold to a circus. Bertie swears that one day they will see one another again, but the butterfly lion ensures that their friendship will never be forgotten.
Lily - "I love books about animals".
Grace - "I can't wait to see if Bertie finds the lion cub again".
Cartwright - "DEAR is my favourite time of day".
