4.0 out of 5 stars a good book for young lion lovers Jan 31 2002

By "myverona"

Format:Hardcover

My mum used to read this book to my brother and I when we were kids and I remember it being a firm favourite of his. This version has different illustrations to those in the one that we used to have but my own 3yo daughter (a lion lover) is as entranced with the story as my brother used to be. I think the new illustrations are great too and has a lovely message about the power of imagination. As for the "jarringly British dialogue", this book is actually from New Zealand not UK. However, I do agree that the text is a bit funny at times but it doesn't seem to bother my daughter at all (who can recite most of the dialogue off by heart after numerous readings of this book).

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative with interesting illustrations Sep 25 1998

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

This book is a frequently-requested bedtime read for my 2-year old. The illustrations have a lot going on so there is great opportunity for pointing out hens, trees, the teddy bear looking out the window, etc. The story is simply told yet imaginative.
