Review: 
Lizzy the Lioness is about a young, adventurous lion cub that wants to be big and brave. She loved to explore and go off on her own and really dislikes nap time. She is like a lot of the young kids that I know. She makes a friend and when that friend is put into danger she must be the bravest ever and find the courage to ask for help versus getting involved.

This was a very nice story. Lizzy is, like I said, a lot like the children I know. She wants to learn and explore (and not nap). She is learning a lot the bigger she gets and is understanding more about how to be brave and what that means. The book does a great job leading up to the action and the illustrations are detailed and fun to look at, and overall the lesson of the story is a wonderful one. For the lesson here alone, I think this is a good book for a children's collection.
