The book was written by Louise Fatio and the pictures and illustrations are by Roger Duvoisin . In the book, there was once a very happy lion. He lived in the town zoo. He was happy in the zoo and one day his keeper forgot to shut the door. So the happy lion walked out into the park. Suddenly, the people who visited him weren't as happy anymore.
