Book Reviews of Library Lion
Book Review: Break out the Kleenex
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone in our house loves this sweet book that my son received for his fourth birthday. My daughter had read it at school in her 2nd grade media (read library) class. As I always do, I read it to myself before reading it to the children and I wept all the way through from about midway to the end. I wept again reading it to the children. It is a beautiful book about friendship and we all adore it.Book Review: Excellent story and very nice edition

Summary: 5 Stars
"Library Lion" is about, well, it is about many things.
First, it is a good story, a rousing story with a happy ending. Second, it is about books, how we love books and want to have them around us. Third, it is about friendship, how we can find friends in the most unusual places. Fourth, it is about duty, how we can find a place in our world and do all the things we can to make our world run smoothly.
And most importantly, "Library Lion" is about flexability. Sometimes it is necessary and good to break a rule, even though rules keep our world running smoothly. Rules are the glue in happy stories, the making of books, the binding of friendship, and the only way to make a world work without things running amok. Sometimes, we must make exceptions.
Library Lion shows up one day, roars, and learns that roaring is not appropriate in the library. He becomes useful, he becomes a backrest for students, he participates in the care of the library, and he becomes quite fond of Mrs. Merriweather, the head librarian in his new library home.
One day he breaks a major rule to help Mrs. Merriweather when she is involved in a book accident. Mr. McBee, the circulation clerk, scolds Library Lion for roaring. Library Lion disappears. Everyone is sad, especially Mrs. Merriweather. Mr. McBee searches and searches for Library Lion until he finds him and tells him that sometimes rules need to be broken to help others.
Library Lion returns and everyone is happy.
What a delightful story that teaches so many things, but the best thing is love and acceptance. Everyone should be loved and now Library Lion knows he is. The soft colors of the illustrations done in acrylic and pencil are pleasing to the eye and inviting to the imagination. This book is a must-have for all children's libraries, and of course, the home library. After all, the lion is there to help!
Book Review: Great and Fun Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a cute book. The story captures a lion wanting to be in a library and hearing stories being read. When the lion is too loud in the library, he's not allowed to be there anymore. Soon the children start to miss the Lion. It's a very cute story that children can enjoy and also cute pictures. This story will capture children's hearts.
