Dandelion by Don Freeman
Dandelion the lion feels he should look snazzy for a party, so he opts for the latest in fashion: a curled mane, a spiffy new sport coat, and a hat with a cane. When Dandelion arrives the hostess doesn't recognize her friend, and closes the door in his face! After a storm reduces Dandelion to his former scruffy self, he is welcomed to the party, and everyone, including Dandelion, laughs when they realize that he was that silly looking dandy. Dandelion by Don Freeman was published in September 1964.
This was a book that I actually saw on Pinterest. I thought well that's an interesting title and I should see if our local library has it. Sure enough it did and I was able to check it out for Cassie and I to read together. The story was pretty funny watching the Dandelion try to become all fancy and become someone he is not. When in reality his friends only wanted him for him. Cassie didn't enjoy the book as much as I thought she would. The story-line is a little slow in parts and some of the text was over her head. I recommend this for elementary age kids. But I really enjoyed the meaning behind the book and I think it's important for kids to learn about.
