I saw this at the thrift store and just couldn't pass it up. It's The Lion King (but this was over way, way too soon). I need to rewatch the movie now. JK, I have a lot of work to do. BUT SOON. <3

A lovely book for children and adults. Almost tempted to give it 5. 4½*s

[John Yelverton · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a pretty good and concise rendering of the movie in children's book format. It is always annoying when the children's book and the movie don't match, so that you spend half of story time answering confused children.

Read for me in Norwegian by my beautiful 8-year-old twin nieces as a bedtime story via Skype. I'm the spoiltestest auntie in the world!

I think Simba is the oldest Lion King ever to live. Even before he died he was an ancestor
he is respected by almost every animal of the pridelands so 4 me it is 4

This was my favorite story to hear during bedtime, when my mom or aunt would read to me' but I have never actually read this story myself. I decided it is about high time that I do!

I have always loved the illustrations in this book. The sky and the beautiful colors and details have always entranced and delighted me. The story itself was equally as amazing. I highly enjoy hearing and reading this story. I love the metaphors and how things are phrased in this story. There are so many meaningful points that are trying to get across to readers. It is trying to convey and teach a very important message, Never forget who you are and become who you were always meant be! Such a great story! This will definitively be one tale that I plan to read to my future children.

We read this book for 2 nights in a row.

[Daniel Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a fun read: like a Reader's Digest condensed version of the movie. In some places, parents may have to explain some awkward things about death to their children. The artwork is typical Disney-beautiful.

[Julieanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good retelling of the movie complete with decent illustrations. If you are a fan of Lion King books or just have a little one who loves the movie and you want a short version you can read to them, this is probably the best one to get ahold of that I've come across so far.

My favorite kids book/movie ever.

[A.j. Irvin · Rating 5 out of 5]

i think this book is really tight it is pretty dramatic and they sing good an the movie is better than the book and they should make another one

[Davina Ombati · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is about a lion cub who really wants to become king and thinks he can handle him self but gets into trouble, but his dad saves him and teaches him about the stars and gods.

[Horace Mann Family Reading Challenge · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the book. I liked the part when Simba and scar fight. J.B.

I really love it I read it to my son and he just didn't want me to stop

[Angela King · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love all things Disney. Childhood would have been a little darker without Disney. The Lion King was fantastic, and also promoted respect and love for animals. A treat for all the family.

I thought the lion was brave

[Alyssa Ricard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Disney just rocks. The story of these animals and their journey is beautiful. When Mufasa died, I was so sad. But, the responsibility Simba took on was amazing. Very family oriented.
