Lizzy's Lion By Dennis Lee

Lizzy had a lion with a big, bad roar. And she kept him in the bedroom by the closet-cupboard door. The lion had a secret name.

Girl meets lion. Lion meets burglar. Burglar meets nasty end. Girl cleans up evidence. The end.

A little gruesome (the robber gets munch out of existence), if it doesn't got over your head. But my son loved this book. The drawings are fun and the rhyming story is cute.

You can't go wrong with Dennis Lee poetry and Marie-Loise Gay's illustrations. When a robber breaks into Lizzy's bedroom in search of loot, even the candy he brought along won't stop the lion from putting an end to him.
Bouncing four line rhyming stanzas make this a delight to read out loud and listen to. Don't read it to anyone who has a soft spot for thieves as since one comes to a messy ending.

This was one of my favourite books when I was a kid, and now that I have my own, I'm looking forward to reading it to him! It's a funny, quirky (maybe slightly violent) child's book that I would recommend to anyone with a sense of humour.

A fantastic children's book. My son (almost three years old) is currently obsessed with this one. We've read it every night for almost two weeks and he shows no signs of slowing down. Completely enjoyable for adults as well. I appreciate the wit and the dark core of this story!
