About this ebook

Grandma Rose and grandpa Jeff are out for a stroll when the churchbell chimes and shrinks grandma with every strike. She disappears and reappears in an African national park as a lioness, where, with a computer, the animals have summoned her for their annual play staged for the visitors of the park in which she is the protagonist. She lives in a camp and rehearses her part. She meets other animals as well as the park rangers who all live to entertain the tourists. At the end of the season, the computer returns her to grandpa Jeff.

It was one of those humid summer evenings where the air was perfectly still. Home-made ice tea stood in a pitcher on the rickety wooden table. Grandpa Jeff pushed the creaking back door open with his shoulder and placed a tray with six glasses on the table. He poured each of them some ice tea and sat down on the porch steps. The four young children crowded eagerly around their grandmother's feet and looked at her expectantly.

How about your dad, did he like grandpa Jeff? Tommy asked. Grandma Rose smiled, "Oh, he liked him very much. He knew we were seeing each other and he'd promised me to convince mom to let us marry.
