Summary
The little lion club is bored so he leaves his family. He tries to climb a tree but he can't climb as well as a monkey. Then he tries to reach the top of a tree like a giraffe. He then falls into the river and can't swim as well as a crocodile but an elephant comes and pulls him out of the water. In the end the little cub is frightened and calls for his mom and dad. The mother lion hears the lion cub and carries him back safely and the little cub falls asleep and dreams of climbing high into the red African sky.
Personal Response
I thought that this book was absolutely adorable. This is a great fun book because it has flaps in the book that help make the story fun and exciting. It helps the child participate in the book. I love how some of the words to the story were underneath the flaps it provides a little bit of excitement as the child tries to guess what could be underneath the flap. The illustrations were wonderful and the warm color choice made the story inviting and interesting.
Potential Problems
I couldn't find any potential problems of this story.
Recommended to...
I would recommend reading this to children that like running off on their own. It may encourage them to stay with their parent where they will be safest.
