Description
King Lion has lost his voice, so the animals' bedtime story cannot be read. Preposterous Rhinoceros volunteers to give it a try, even though he doesn't know how to read. With a little help from his animal friends, he works through the pictures and words, turning each page into a simple lesson. The story combines colorful illustrations with short, leveled sentences, offering early readers a simple text to practice reading.
Quick Summary
Imagine a fluffy King Lion who can't roar out his bedtime story, so a big, clumsy rhinoceros steps in, even though he's never opened a book before. Kids will love the silly mix-up as Rhinoceros fumbles through the pages, accidentally turning the story into a wild adventure that the animals actually enjoy. It's perfect for early readers who like humor, animal characters, and a gentle lesson about trying your best even when you don't know how. Parents will appreciate the short, simple sentences, the positive message about helping friends, and the fact that there's nothing too scary or heavy for the younger set. At only 397 words, it's a quick, breezy read for kids in K-3, and an AR level of 2.6 means it's just right for kids building confidence. If your child liked Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Book!" or Fly Guy, they'll probably enjoy this one too.
