Child Empowerment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Lizzy's Lion is the most charming and delightful solution where little girl protects herself and dispels nighttime fears by inventing a guardian in the form of a closet cupboard lion. With the very vivid childlike descriptions of how the lion disposes of a 'rotten robber' the reader is taken to the very logical conclusion. I have read it to our many grandchildren who all love it and ask for it again and again while we all laugh and applaud Lizzy.
childhood favorite

This book has been my favorite since I was a child. The words flow so well when reading to myself or my children. Although there are some grafic parts, they don't take away from the poem/story being youthfull and fun. I will always read and share with others this delightful story.
My favorite children's book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This has got to be one of the most fun books to read. It has a great story about a little girl who has a lion, with a big, bad roar that she unleashes on unsuspecting robbers. Although somewhat gruesome I still love this book. I highly enjoy reading this book to my little brother and sister who love it as well. I hihgly recommend this book as one that should be in any book collection. I've even bought myself a copy and I'm 21.
Rhyming Fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Lizzy's Lion may surprise adults at first with it's some what gross discription but it thrills children. It is fun to read!This book is rhyming fun with it's musical sentences. Dennis Lee has captured a singy-song additude.The pictures are characteristic of the award winning Marie-Louise Gay. Her pictures are busy and wild. Gay's children are depicted as cute but not perfectly pretty. She makes looking at illustrations fun.
