If I Were a Lion

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful pictures, don't be put off by the "bad girl" theme
Review: A book with beautiful pictures and really good story.

Rating:
Summary: Delightful!
Review: My 21 month old daughter loves this book! We read it four times last night and she wanted to hear it again this morning. Heather Solomon's watercolor illustrations are Gorgeous! and fun (howling with coyotes, roaring like a lion, pushing the wild animals back into the toy box, shrugging her shoulders with "Who me?" and sitting so endearingly with hands clasped on the very last page... well, we just loved every single page of this book). And thank you Sarah Weeks for a perfect job with the rhythm and words (thank you, especially, for words like: absurd, precocious, polite and apologize). My daughter is not yet two years old, but she "gets" the humor and sweetness in this very fun book. I have just ordered another copy for a gift, and suspect I'll order several more for upcoming birthdays.
