This is a wonderful nature book about lions. It features two maps, India and Africa, showing where lions are actually located. There are only two main species of lions, according to this book, Asian and African. There are so many great photos here for children (and of interest for adults). The range is from K through 5th grade. There is also a subheading, how lions make babies, that is simple and clean, good for children of all ages, and a good introduction to the topic for children. A definite for the classroom - A+
