The Lion Who Lost his Roar and Learnt to Draw is a lovely book about a noisy lion who roars too much and ends up getting a sore throat so he has to find something else to do. The pictures are vibrant and fun to look a and the story is written in short sharp sentences which are scattered on the pages and this adds to the beauty of the pages. There are also some activities to do at the back of the book so this is definitely an added bonus.

    Very disappointed that there was a big sticker on the front of the book when it arrived promoting 3 books for £5. This was not an Amazon offer and I paid £4.99 for one book. I felt cheated. Story is Ok but not great, however the two year old I read it to liked it, not his favourite though.

    (ARC was provided to read and review.)

    Lionel loves to do one thing in particular and he does it all day long, he roars.
    As his roar was rather loud he startled other animals and gave his mother a headache. Mama Lion's suggestion to try and sit quietly and draw for a change falls on deaf ears. (I must admit, I hugely enjoyed this part of the story. It's only fair to see, that lion parents face the same making-a-lot-of-noise-is-fabulous situations. "Drawing is boring! I like roaring!.")
    But the next morning, when the young cub wakes up, his voice is gone. All that roaring and now his throat is sore. Eventually Lionel feels now ready to try and draw and astonishingly, he's quite talented and what's more, it turns out to be a lot of fun.
    But what will Lionel do when finally his voice returns? Will he continue to draw or be his old self again?

    A while ago, I discovered the Storytime picture books for my preschoolers and have become a fan of them. The lovely stories all come with cheerful and vivid illustrations and they all carry a message. All books are rounded off with suggestions for next steps at the end.
    The Lion Who Lost His Roar encourages children to try new things, before they give it a miss. By trying something different, they can discover something else they might love to do and it broadens their horizon. But it's also important to stay true to yourself and never give up doing what you enjoy the most.
    I also love, that the story introduces a lot of interesting adjectives, like squawk, chatter, trumpet, which will enhance the young readers vocabulary.
