1. The
adventures of
Leon
the Lion
by David
aged 8

2. Leon the Lion explored the jungle. “Do you
want to hear a joke?” asked Mike the
Monkey. “Ooh, yes please,” answered
Leon the Lion. “What kind of key opens a
banana? A monKEY!”
But....said Leon...keys open the doors, right?
How could a key open a banana???

3. Leon the Lion explored the forest.
Sanjay the Squirrel was there, looking
worried. “Do you have walnuts, hazel nuts,
cashew nuts or coconuts? I’m allergic to nuts,
they make my cheeks go puffy,” he wailed.
I had peanut butter for breakfast..but I already
ate it...said Leon....Don´t worry you won´t
explode!

4. Leon the Lion explored the desert. “Cold
drinkssss. Get your cold drinksss here,” shouted
Les the Lizard. “Can I have an apple juice
please?” asked Leon. “I have cactus juice or
beetle juice,” exclaimed Les. “Take your pick.“
Yuck! said Leon...I don´t like beetles and
cactus...can I have just a "poncha" please?

5. Leon the Lion explored outer space. “I
wonder how all these planets got here?” Leon
pondered. Suddenly Harriet the Hen came
floating by. “Cluuuuuckkk, cluck, cluck,
cluuuuuck!” squarked Harriet as…PLOP!...
she laid one planet, and another, and another,
and another.
" Wom, you are amazing hen! ,said Leon. Can you
lay a planet like Earth for me, please? I need to
get back so I can get some food!

6. Leon the Lion decided to head home. On the
way Leon saw Percy the Carrier
Pigeon. “Have you got a message for me to
deliver?” asked Percy.
Leon quickly wrote down a message for
Percy to deliver. And do you know what the
message said? Well, here it is.
