"The problem is, there are several other books that Disney has given its "stamp of approval", and they contradict the content of TLK6NA. For example, "Friends in Need", Mufasa rescues Zazu from Shenzi, Banzai and Ed when he is an adolescent and he eventually decides to make Zazu his advisor. In TLK6NA, however, Zazu doesn't start serving Mufasa until Mufasa is an adult, after his mother Zuzu became Ahadi's advisor when Mufasa was an adolescent. I also read on a Wikipedia page (now down, unfortunately) that some TLK storybooks mention that Rafiki presented Mufasa to the Pride Lands when Mufasa was a baby, while in TLK6NA, Rafiki doesn't arrive in the Pride Lands until Mufasa is an adolescent.
It's pretty much impossible to accept all "semi-canon" material. You invariably have to choose which parts you accept and which parts you don't." -Akril at MyLionKing
I don't think that's a problem at all in the matter. The fact that there are so many completely different book universe views that contradict each others, is just yet another SHINING proof of how the books are nothing more but profit fanfiction (especially if their authors do not even belong to Disney's company like TLK6NA's authors apparently don't.) I mean, if Disney is approving so many contradicting views, they certainly don't mean them as semi-canon but as seperate fanfiction views.
Semi-canon has to be tied into the canon source and not one of those books are. They haven't even been approved but instead denied by the canon's creators as in the film makers. And now they apparently even contradict each other.
We are again resulting in the books being profit fanfiction and nothing more.
