Summary of Book:
This a story of a little boy named Andy who becomes a forever long friend to a lion because he pulls a thorn out of his foot. It is a very good story. The illustrations are very different, but that makes me like them even more. In the classroom I would use this book when my class was learning about Folklore and Mythology. It would also start a discussion to see if the students thought it was real or not. Then, I would get them to start their own myth or folklore that they would like to be read years and years from now.
