[E & E’s Mama · Rating 4 out of 5]

A creative spin to Daniel in the Lion’s Den: told from a little lion’s perspective, who has been bullied by a bigger lion. A great way to discuss not being afraid of a bully for preschoolers

It’s cute if you’re strictly looking for super Biblically accurate children’s literature. My boys really enjoyed it and that mostly what I care most about.
