My preschoolers and I have had such fun with these two books and I am so happy to be part of Susanna’s blog book tour!
WHEN YOUR LION NEEDS A BATH
Written by: Susanna Leonard Hill
Illustrated by: Daniel Wiseman
Published by Little Simon (Board Book Edition – 11 July 2017)
Ages: 2 – 4 years
When your Lion needs a Bath is laugh out loud funny! Lion is smelly and his little boy plots and schemes to get him in the bath! Once again Susanna has written this in very few words, with a charming twist at the end. It has perfectly balanced text with colourful and expressive illustrations by Daniel Wiseman. This book is excellent for sharing with little people! We loved it!
And…of course, as with When your Elephant has the Sniffles, I decided a fun food activity was the way to go to extend this book with the kids – they loved it!
Here is what we did…
We sat very quietly and watched my assistant Melanie making pancakes…yummy.
We chopped nectarines, pineapple and cherries.
We gave our lions fruit manes, cherry eyes and a whisker or two of red licorice …
then we stepped back and admired our creativity…
Finally, of course, we ate them for our snack! What fun!
Enjoy!!

Think I’m reading all of these in reverse order & that I should have eaten before reading all of these yummy recipes.
