And you must be quiet. But when a lion comes to the library one day, no one is sure what to do. There arent any rules about lions in the library. And, as it turns out, this lion seems very well suited to library visiting. His big feet are quiet on the library floor. He makes a comfy backrest for the children at story hour. And he never roars in the library, at least not anymore. But when something terrible happens, the lion quickly comes to the rescue in the only way he knows how. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Absolutely adorable!What a sweet and touching story! The book is about a lion who decides to visit the library and stays. He helps out amongst the library staff and the children love him! When someone falls and gets hurt, the lion must decide how to save them - even if it means breaking the rules. The book is filled with beautiful pictures and a heartfelt writing style. The main characters are each unique and distinct. And there is a great message about rules being rules, but that even rules can be broken ...

Then I found out that we were going to be seeing my aunt and thought it would be a really great book for her to read for my son as part of a family project. We didn't have time to order, so called a nearby Borders to see if Library Lion was in stock. The Borders employee I talked to on the phone went to check, and when he came back to the phone, the first ... Read More Rating: - Love It! Sweet, Tender and CharmingI love this picture book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is tender, touching and sweet. It's about a lion who visits the library and at first makes people nervous and nearly gets thrown out for roaring. But he returns the next day and behaves and everyone enjoys having him around, except for Mr. McBee. The Lion shows up everyday but eventually breaks a rule and even though it's with good reason, he feels he must leave the library, rules are rules after all. Surprisingly ... Read More Rating: - Will surely become a classicThere are a handful of children's books that make me a little teary because they are simple and beautiful and poignant. Like The Giving Tree. All but one of them I remember from my own childhood. And then there's Library Lion. This is a beautiful feel-good story that really appeals to young kids partly because it is about both a lion and "The Rules" both of which many kids seem obsessed with. I am sure that someday my kids will read this book to their kids for the first time with a tear in their eye ... Read More Rating: - Friends can come in the most unusual ways"Library Lion" is about, well, it is about many things. First, it is a good story, a rousing story with a happy ending. Second, it is about books, how we love books and want to have them around us. Third, it is about friendship, how we can find friends in the most unusual places. Fourth, it is about duty, how we can find a place in our world and do all the things we can to make our world run smoothly. And most importantly, "Library Lion" is about flexability. Sometimes it is necessary ... Read More
