Description in English: Have you seen the lion? -the frog asked-. I’ve brought him a letter that smells of fresh grass and freshly cut flowers. This lyrical question is repeated to all the animals the frog meets, whose answers become small clues and page by page the book converts into a puzzle.
The answers reveal details that will lead the tireless amphibian to discover the lion’s whereabouts all the while feeding his curiosity as well as that of the inhabitants of the jungle and the readers’ to discover the motive why the lion only runs and runs; doesn’t hunt nor eat and, above all, his insistence on reaching the moon. The Venezuelan-Uruguayan writer Armando Quintero has a long and recognized career as an oral narrator. This experience is evident in the narrative tension he has incorporated in Have you seen the lion?. This book is his second collaboration with OQO, with his first being Snails, the collection for first readers in nanOQOs. The lion’s strange behavior has everyone intrigued: to reach the moon is something only a mad person would aspire to or a feat of someone in love.
To visually communicate the animals confusion, the illustrator Géraldine Alibeu draws the jungle animals in static poses and limits the palette of colors. Thus, transmitting the inability of these animals, the frog included, to explain what is happening to the lion they fear unhinged.
