Query: Grim little story

This is a story about a man who buys an elderly, arthritic, and half-blind lion. He figures out a way to 'capsulize' the lion's roars into water soluble capsules. This is a neat concept, but is sadly unrealized. Instead the story goes off-putting to grim, and the sad fate of the lion will traumatize children who love animals.My vintage copy has "Weekly Reader Children's Book Club" written on the back. I can't imagine why this book would have been chosen for a book club.
