Chunky Safari Lion (Chunky Safari Books) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
All books in Barron's Chunky Safari series stand right up on their feet and do double duty as story books and toys. When closed, they're shaped like wild animals, and have amusing faces and button eyes that roll and wiggle. When kids open the extra-thick board pages of these books they find an entertaining little animal story in easy to understand words, with full-color illustrations on every page. Preschool kids will love these books. When they've finished this story, they can close the covers and use the lion to create stories of their own.

Lotte' daddy brought this little book home from a business trip to London. Ever since it has been her night-time pal in bed. She looks over page after page "talking" with the animals.The book is marked as not suitable for children under 36 months because of small parts (the eyes are pasted on the cardboard face of the animal and could be picked off, I guess).Lotte is 16 months old and giving me kisses as I write this review. I take it she approves of this book.What I like about it is the repetitive formular ... the lion looks for the zebra and asks all the animals he finds on this "safari" if they have seen the zebra. The zebra is always hiding behind something and the child can help spot it. Since the question is always the same, children are able to relate to what they are supposed to do on each page.The illustrations are cute and simple. The pictures are not overloaded in color and action. Yet there are those little things the child can point to and enjoy. Lotte is so proud when she can point to the zebra and help the lion.For smaller children is is just as suitable as for older ones. There are four animals in the series: Lion, Elephant, Zebra, and Rhino.I was going to order all four since they also make a great gift. Everyone who has small children and stopped by our house loved the book. One of the older children sadly had a fight over our Lion with Lotte and they tore it in two halves. A replacement is necessary and the reason for my visit at .com :)Enjoy the book and the smiling child that "reads" it.Michael, Kristin and Lotte
This book is really cute! I bought it as a gift for a 1 year old and I think he'll love it. I noticed other reviewers mentioned that the binding was a bit fragile, but when I received it I was pleased to find that the binding is a strip of cloth. I'm not sure if they've fixed the poor binding issue or if the issue is that the cloth rips off the book, but I assume that if it tears off it might be able to be glued back on. Hopefully we won't need to find that out.I like the repetition of the story line - I think it's perfect for toddlers - 3 year olds. The book is sturdy too, with sufficiently heavy pages. The lion is cute too. Great little book!
The book is very cute. However, the binding breaks rather easily. That is very disappointing as the little ones love the book.
Our grandson loves this book. It is a great size for the diaper bag and little hands to hold. Wish the binding were more sturdy but all things considered we were happy with the purchase.
I have bought all these books..all the animals ones and my kids love them! But they dont last long before they fall apart...
It only lasted a few days, it tore about the 2nd time the little ones held it. I am really sorry I bought it.
It seems it's perfect for a 2-year old. Easy reading while learning to read and very cute to put on display.
Really cute. Used as decoration and then gave to mom at a safari themed baby shower.
