Review

This Little Golden Book explores how different species say I love you. The illustrations are sweet and perfect for a preschool audience. This book is bound as a traditional Little Golden Book. The pages seem a little large for the cover, but I don't think that we expect exceptional binding from this type of book. This book is perfect for the preschool crowd. This would be a great bedtime read aloud. The title and the cover suggest that the book may be about a lion and her cub, but this is really a story about many types of animals and how they express their love. The book felt intimate in that you might want to share it with those whom you are closest. I would recommend this for a family read aloud versus a class.

Overall Book Score: good
