The Lion Who Had Asthma (Albert Whitman Concept Paperbacks) (Paperback)

From School Library Journal

His mother shows up with a nebulizer, but Sean is the one who turns it on, and as he breathes deeply, he becomes a jet pilot. Wescott’s clean-looking watercolor-and-ink illustrations take the story’s action to places where text would have been limiting, and capture the positive feeling London’s tone demands.
