Book Reviews of Library Lion
Book Review: New Favorite Picture Book
Summary: 5 Stars
A truly heartwarming story. I like to read it to classes I subsitute teach in and I have to concentrate on not getting choked up! That being said, it is a happy book!Book Review: No Roaring in the Library
Summary: 5 Stars
Library Lion pokes gentle fun at library rules and makes us all wish we had a lion at our library. Libraries need a helpful, polite lion who loves story hour, lets children rest against his soft fur, and never roars... unless the librarian falls off her chair and needs help. After all, lions can't yell or call 911.Book Review: One of my favorites for my class
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a teacher of 4 year olds, and Library Lion is simply one of the best books I have discovered in a while. The pictures are beautiful and expressive, and the text poetic. But my favorite part of the book is the emotions. The lion has to learn to "follow the rules" - this is so meaningful for children who are always being asked by adults to follow rules that they don't always understand. One of the biggest rules is "no roaring in the library." Anybody who knows a 4 year old boy knows that roaring sometimes happens just in daily life. When the lion finally breaks the rules (and has a very valid reason), he is scolded and sent away by the prim and proper Mr. McBee. Speaking from personal experience, I have occasionally corrected a child for a behavior and then found out that there was a very good reason for the behavior. As the book states, "sometimes there is a good reason to break the rules, even in the library." This book appeals to most children, and in particular for that child who may sometimes break the rules. It deals with these issues in a caring way, and really puts the point across that taking care of each other as best we can is more important than following the rules. It is a magical book, and I often have to hold back tears as I read it aloud to the children. Definitely a favorite!Book Review: Quiet In The Library
Summary: 5 Stars
Library Lion.
When a lion wanders into the library, Mr. McBee frowns on the idea, but Miss Meriwhether, the librarian decides that he isn't breaking any rules. However, when story time is over, he roars. Miss Merriweather tells the lion he won't be allowed in the library if he ever roars again.
Miss Merriweather and the children look forward to seeing the lion each day for story time. The lion also helps out by licking envelopes, dusting with his tail and helping children reach books on high shelves.
One day the lion breaks the rules, once again. He leaves the library, knowing that he has broken the rules.
Story time just isn't the same without the lion.
Mr. McBee decides that sometimes there is a good reason to break rules.
How would you feel about having a lion visit for story time?
Do you think lions can be quiet?
This is an entertaining book for children. It will help them develope a love for books, and an excitement for visiting the library.
