Product Description

Review
"Stunningly illustrated and highly original." Book Trust on Weslandia, commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal"

Product Description
When a lion visits the library, no one knows what to do: there are no rules about lions in the library. Soon he is indispensable. "What a helpful lion," people say. "How did we ever get along without him?" But one day the head librarian falls and breaks her arm, and the only way the lion can get help is to roar. And that is breaking the rules. The next day the lion doesn't come to the library, nor the next day, nor the day after that...until Mr McBee finds him and tells him that sometimes there is a very good reason to break the rules - even in the library!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle picture book set in a library with timeless illustrations, 9 Sep 2007
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a lovely picture book, a gentle story with gorgeous timeless illustrations. Visiting the library regularly, Lion is allowed in because he sticks to the rules and there's nothing to say that lions aren't allowed in. Helpful and kind the lion is soon a firm favourite with all the library visitors. Then one day, the lion performs a good deed, a rescue, that requires a loud roar but he is therefore banned from the library. It's a sad day for the lion, the library and its visitors, but then perhaps rules aren't always fixed in stone and can, with good reason, be altered... Hurrah! Perfect for 3-6s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who says animals can't come to storytime ........, 16 Jun 2007
Who said that animals can't join in storytime at the library, as long as they follow the same rules as everybody else? Oh, no! What happens when a lion is friendly and likes to roar loudly? Does that mean he is not allowed to come to the library anymore? If you look inside this lion, at the heart, you'll see why he can be your very best friend. If you or your little ones like going to the library, you'll LOVE this book as did my 6 year old daughter!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming story, 13 April 2008
This review is from: Library Lion (Paperback)
A lovely story of how an unusual visitor to the library becomes a welcome friend and volunteer. Also a lovely little story about how to behave. The lion first comes to the library to hear stories but becomes hooked, and likes to come back regularly. He starts to help out with various tasks and earn the appreciation of the kids and staff at the library. But one day he breaks the rule about not roaring in the library.

It also has lovely illustrations and noises that all the family can join in.

Recommended.
