Reviews

[Melinda Christensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Little "l" had a box that he wanted to fill with "l" words. He found leaves which he put on the bottom of his box, lizards that he put on top of the leaves, and little lambs were put on the lizards. But the lizards jumped out and had to be returned to the box. Next, he threw in a lobster, climbed a lighthouse ladder, and lit a lantern. He saw a lion and a leopard but when they were added to the box, all the animals freaked out and left the box. Little "l" had to figure out where to house all the animals, which he did. And finally he found many more words which began with "l." I think our little boy was enthralled with the letter "l." Do you know what his name is?

Little L is collecting things that start with L for his sound box and having an adventure along the way. Preschool and up

Very dumb. Jungle cats do not hide in lighthouses. Lobsters are not found in lakes. In the final pages the lion lays down with lambs but I doubt this was a biblical reference.
