This is a book Fritz purchased at a book fair. The illustrations are cute as is the story.
A little girl is walking through the jungle when the mean lion approaches her. He announces that she does walk or sing like the other animals, therefore, she is doomed. She convinces the lion she can do things others can't. She draws. The lion doesn't like the picture Sarah draws of him, but the other animals rush to her defense stating that he is a bully. Sarah is spared.

Sarah is strolling through the jungle, singing a happy song, when Lion pounces. How dare she trespass on his turf? He is King of the Jungle--where nobody strolls and sings: They lumber and grunt, sprint and squeak, slither and harrumph! Lion makes an executive decision to eat the little girl for lunch. But Sarah thinks fast: True, she can't wallow like the hippo or wriggle like the snake, but she can draw. She paints a portrait of Lion. "I don't look that grumpy!" he protests. "Yes, you do!" all...more
I was in search of some good books for a children's storytime with a 'lion' theme. This one made the short list. Pretty cute story, though some of the artwork ended up looking a bit busy. I ended up not using this, but I think it would make a good book, particularly for more one-on-one reading with a child, as there is a lot of discussion around the different noises various jungle animals make, the different movements, etc. (made for "busy" pictures for a group to view, but would be fine with a...more
Whoo! The number of vocabulary words in here is staggering. Lion wants to eat Sarah for lunch as she doesn't move or talk the way the other animals do. But Sarah wins her freedom by proving she can do something none of the animals can do: draw. When she draws lion, though, she draws him looking angry and mean, and he doesn't see himself that way. He invites Sarah to come back and draw him another day, and resolves to change.
What starts as a playful romp, taking inspiration from Louise Fatio’s The Happy Lion, becomes a timely message about bullying. I love the illustrations and Sarah is endearing. Her artistic flare is creative and fun. I love how the animals take her side against the lion and insist on walking Sarah home. How wonderful that the lion changes his mind. Great lessons learned will having lots of reading fun.
Fiona Tierney's book, illustrated by Margaret Chamberlain, has an enviable assemblage of 20 action verbs and 10 similes. Children can learn valuable lessons from reading and discussing this book.
Sarah wanders into the jungle and runs across a lion who plans to eat her because she cannot move or sing like the other creatures in the jungle. When Sarah shows the lion she can draw, the other animals convince the lion she should stay. Vibrant illustrations and clever word choices hold up through many rereads.
Cute colorful story about a girl who does not want to be lions lunch.
Useful when learning about adjectives and verbs. Great vocabulary.
Enjoying a walk through the jungle Sarah is about to become Lion's lunch unless she can do something that none of the other animals can do. Will she survive the jungle king or will she become his lunch.
This book is a great way to show kids that we all have special talents. In the adults eyes it shows how children tell it how they see it.

This is another great language book that focuses on synonyms - it would make a kinda tough read-aloud because there are SO MANY words on each page, but would work well in a classroom or with a curious child. I'm not crazy about the illustrations.
This story highlights the value of being able to draw (or have any special skill) and tries to teach kids that it's better to be nice than grumpy and mean. Unfortunately, it's poorly written and way too message-y to be enjoyable.
I will have to shorten considerably for Family Storytime, but I love the vibrant colors, the great vocabulary selection, and the overall message that you can choose your own attitude.
This a great book for writer's workshop offering synonym ideas for those "boring" overused words.
story about lion who learns to be kind and not a bully
Mentor text for illustrating vocabulary - would excite Isabelle Beck!
great story. theme bully. draw and tell.
