librarianryan 's review for:

The Little Lion That Listened by Matthew Molleur, Nicholas Tana
3.0
adventurous emotional slow-paced

This story is a tad bit long. Leo is a lion his big brother roars loudly, his big sister roars for a long time, but Leo doesn’t roar at all,  he listens. His listening has helped the family but his father still feels shame that Leo cannot roar. When a fire breaks out in the savanna it will take Leo’s roar to warn the Lions and the other families.  Their roar comes loud and long. Overall the illustrations are better than the story. They are bright and colorful and it’s quite different from what you see in many picture books and for that alone I love this book.
