Mr. Lion's mane is especially messy, so his friend Monkey tried to convice Lion that he needs a whole new hairdo. He washes it, and blows it dry and tries a lot of different styles and colors. 

Thanks to the cutout, Mr. Lion's face remains uncertain, while his mane goes through look after look. Some were pretty funny - AJ's favorite was pigtails and bows. We were able to have a great talk, based on the ending, about peer pressure and body image. You be you, AJ (and Mr. Lion).
