Book Review: Lizzy the Lioness by Lisa Bevere, Illustrated by Kirsteen Harris-Jones


Lizzy The Lioness is a story about a lion cub that gets in a tight spot and needs to ask for help from her pride. It’s a pretty cute story. She befriends a human and has a run-in with some hyenas. She learns that asking for help is nothing to be ashamed of, but rather the right thing to do.

I love to read books to my children when they have a moral or a good message.  My children generally have no problem asking for help, but as they seek more independence I do have to remind them they still need it. I have a three year old and a one and a half year old I read this book to. The younger one didn’t focus well but my three year old did. The book is probably best for a 4-8 year old though. I like how the story teaches children to rely on their family. Of course, this can extend to any close adult or caregiver, but I do appreciate the family connection.

The illustrations are vivid and colorful, and the font size varies for emphasis. I recommend it for children age 3 or 4 to 8 years old. It would also be one I would consider as a gift for a friend’s child, because parents can appreciate it as well.


I received this book for free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers <http://booklookbloggers.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
