The Cozy Lion: As Told by Queen Crosspatch

Name: The Cozy Lion: As Told by Queen Crosspatch
Author: Frances Hodgson Burnett

A small, perturbed fairy queen intervenes when a lion moves into a cave near a village and terrifies parents and children; she scolds him for wanting society only to eat it, exposes his disbelief in fairies, flies into his mouth and provokes a toothache that sends him roaring to a dentist and creates chaos in the town, and ultimately uses the humiliation and lessons learned to reform his manners and teach him how to behave among people, especially around children.
