Lion Lessons Read Free Books and Download eBooks
With the wit and read-aloud appeal of Peter Brown’s Children Make Terrible Pets and William Steig’s Pete’s a Pizza, this funny, fierce picture book teaches kids just what it takes to be a great lion There are seven steps to becoming a proper lion, including Looking Fierce, Roaring, Prowling Around, and Pouncing. Our young hero, a rather meek and scrawny human boy, does his best to learn the necessary skills during his training with a master instructor (who just happens to be a real lion). After a grueling set of lessons, the boy discovers that that the final step—Looking Out for Your Friends—is the most important of all. That’s how any kid can earn his lion diploma (not to mention the affection of every cat in town).

A boy heads into a shop to take lessons in being a lion. First he has to don the appropriate outfit, complete with mane. His instructor is a professional and informs him that there are seven steps to becoming a lion. First though they have to stretch. The first step is looking fierce, but the boy’s poses don’t impress his teacher. The second step is roaring, but the he wasn’t loud enough. The third step was what to eat and the boy only wanted spaghetti, not the various animals. Prowling Around came next but the boy kept forgetting his tail. Sprinting had the boy running far up a hill and exhausted by the end. Pouncing didn’t work at all. Looking Out for Your Friends though suddenly had the boy acting a lot more lion-like than ever before!I love Agee’s surreal picture book and his absurd look at life. This picture book is a delight with the farcical attempts of a boy trying to act like a lion alongside the stern professorial lion himself. The pairing of the two of them is wonderfully funny. Children will relate easily to the joy of pretending to be an animal and will see the humor in this much more formal way to learn something that is usually done so casually.Agee’s illustrations are done in his signature style that is minimalist and effective. The illustrations are simple and will work well with a group thanks to their large format. There is plenty of humor in the illustrations as well, from the lion stretches as yoga poses to the glower of the lion himself. It is all filled with lovely timing too, all designed for maximum joy.A great and surprising pick for back-to-school, this picture book will have them roaring with laughter. Appropriate for ages 4-6.
Love Jon Agee and all of his picture books. The kids love him too. This was great but not as great as my two favorites, the one about the hat trick and the one about a guy who thinks everything is terrible. I hope never to miss one of Jon Agees books.
Illustrations are wonderful, neat and clean yet interesting and detailed. I bought this book for my mini-lions/students. Humorous story, wish the last page was a little different but it's ok. Moral of the story, a good lion looks out for his own (even if it's a house cat :) )...aka take care of your friends
I absolutely love this book! If you're looking for something a little different, that also conveys a great message, this is a book you'll want to add to your children's library. I gave this to my 2 year old granddaughter as one of her birthday gifts.
I loved the humorous details in this one, especially in the teacher's office! An I (Heart) Cats mug, Africa poster, a framed Purple Pounce Award, etc. And the Lion who teaches Lion Lessons is so sassy!
