Reviews

[Bvlmc Buchanan Verplanck Elementary School · Rating 3 out of 5]

A boy conquers his own fears of a nightly visit by a lion when he discovers the poor creature cold and freezing in his bed and in bad need of a good tooth brushing. A good story for preK-K audience struggling with bad dreams or night time fears and one an older sibling would enjoy reading as well.

[Kelly Holmes · Rating 2 out of 5]

A cute story about embracing and conquering your fears. A little too much text on each page for my taste, but still good.
