I hated the pictures and the old man was frightening but the story was brilliant.

Lion Talk presents basic factual information about lions with real photographs, and includes a Did You Know? section on each page explaining a fact about lions that also applies to the broader category cats. I liked this book and would use it in my teaching because it was informational in an understandable yet interesting way. I feel this book would be appropriate for Grades 1-3 to supplement discussions on animals, efferent reading, or non-fiction.

This book is a great book because it explores beaches and teaches you about all the different things that it includes. There is great photographs in this book but it mainly is an informational book with a lot of interesting facts. Using this in a classroom would be helpful because it has great facts and also would keep the students interested with great pictures. I would aim this book to a grade level of 3rd-5th grade.

"Lion Talk" is a very well organized informational book. I liked the book for two reasons. First, the illustrations certainly enhance the book. The photographs in the book are real photographs. This allows young readers to see photos of actual lions in their habitat. Utilizing real photographs also helps students distinguish between differentiate between different types of lions and genders of lions. The second reason I liked this book is because of the plot. The book begins with a table of show more contents that goes through each important fact about a lion(s). Some of the topics include: What is a lion? where do lions live? Lion families, and what do lions eat? Then, each page is designated to a topic. Readers can easily read about each topic by referencing to the table of contents to find it. The big idea of this book is to inform readers about lions. show less
