Lion's Lunch?

Lion's Lunch is about a girl who confronts a lion about his bad attitude while walking in the woods one day. She draws a picture of the lion as mean and ferocious. He is upset because he says he is more than that. In the end he proves himself to be kind and sociable and the girl draws another picture of him as such.

The great thing about this book is it contains a lot of synonyms, which allows children to experiment and learn different words. It also shows the lion in a different light besides being scary and feared, he is seen as interesting and approachable. Another great thing it does is illustrate to the reader the other types of animals that live in a lion's habitat.
