«Lazy Lions, Lucky Lambs» is a children's novel by Patricia Reilly Giff, published by Random House Children's Books in paperback (80 pages, in English).
In Mrs. Rooney's class, the children have to write about real people, but for Richard Best, nicknamed Beast, writing is his worst subject. Also, report cards come in March and, if he doesn't improve, he might have to repeat the grade.
Originally published in 1985, it is the seventh book in the The Kids of the Polk Street School series and includes illustrations by Blanche Sims.
Recommended for readers aged 6 to 9 who enjoy school and friendship stories.
