How to Scare a Lion

by Dorothy Stephenson
illustrated by John E. Johnson

I guess I'm in a vintage book mood.  
Leonard was the fiercest of all lions and Frederick was the braves of all lion tamers.  Their circus act was fantastic, but the best part was the finale when Frederick would put his head in Leonard's mouth.  
One unfortunate day Leonard got the hiccups!  Every time a hiccup came along Leonard's powerful lion jaws would snap shut.  Frederick knew he had to help Leonard get rid of those hiccups before their performance that night, or the head-in-the-lion's-mouth would not have a happy ending.
