Lionel: The Big Friendly Rhinoceros

Lionel is a very big rhinoceros. So big, that he barely fits on the page!

He loves joining in with whatever his friends are doing--but his enthusiasm leads to disaster when he pokes a real hole through the page.When he seeks out a quiet spot, Lionel finally finds his sweet spot: making the world’s greatest rhinocer-raft!

With bold, animated illustrations from acclaimed author and illustrator Lo Cole, Lionel is a joyful story about the strengths of being different, and the importance of friendship.

Lo Cole creates illustrations for an astonishing number of clients including The Times, New Scientist, Vogue, Sony Music, Greenpeace and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and is published by HarperCollins, Penguin, and Walker Books, among others. He is the son of Joanne and Michael Cole, creators of the book and TV series Bod, first published 50 years ago. Lo Cole lives in Gloucestershire, UK.
