Reviews

When Your Lion Needs a Bath, follows an olive-skinned child attempting to bathe a smelly lion. Sneakiness and an understanding of the lion’s disposition are the main ingredients in this lighthearted account. Simple, cartoonlike illustrations against mostly white backgrounds keep the focus on the main characters. The books hit just the right note for children in this age group, who are newly developing empathy and an understanding of others. Together with its companion, (When Your Elephant Has The Sniffles) two humorous explorations of what it means to take care of a friend. (Board book. 2-4)
