Description
Norman, a young lion who is on his own, spends an exhausting afternoon trying to find something to eat.
Quick Summary
If you're looking for a quick, funny read for kids who love animal stories, Norman the Lion is a great choice. Norman finds himself hungry and alone, and what starts as a simple quest for food turns into one mishap after another. Kids who appreciate silly situations and don't mind a little worry mixed into their stories will especially get a kick out of this one. The short chapters and easy vocabulary make it perfect for newly independent readers or anyone who wants something light and entertaining. What I love is that despite being only 456 words, there's actually some heart here Norman doesn't give up, even when things go wrong. Parents will appreciate that it's wholesome but not preachy. If your kid enjoys books about animals solving problems, this pairs well with easy chapter books like Mercy Watson or other early animal adventures.
