There Are Lions in This Book!
by Dandi Mackall

Back of the Book: “Children love to feel empowered—even while reading books! So, when a narrator of a book comes along to warn the child not to turn another page, what will they do? This is the kind of adventure that Dandi Daley Mackall invites her readers into in There's a Lion in This Book!

In this clever take on the Daniel in the lions’ den story, a narrator mouse continually warns the reader not to turn the page, lest they find what Daniel eventually found—terrifying, hungry lions! As this exciting and engaging story unfolds, children ages 4 to 8 will learn what actually happened to Daniel in the Bible while being thoroughly entertained in the process.

Impressions: I loved this book. The story and illustrations were so fun. It was so entertaining to read the very real story of Daniel with the side of humor of the mouse. The little mouse added to the suspense of the story even though my boys know this story. For reference, my boys are 5 and 9 years old.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review shared here.

What a wonderful story that tickled my funny bone! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Oh, wait, I’m not supposed to as it’s a children’s book? Only parents can when reading to their children? Or grandparents? I see. Then I’m only to tell parents to not buy this book as there are lions in it. Got it!
I received an advanced reader copy for free from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.
