Book Description

Little Lion
Little Lion Goes to School tells the story of a young Rastafarian boy struggling to fit in at a new school where the children tease him for being poor and different. With his father’s help he learns to value who he is, not what he possesses, and that what makes him different also makes him special. The book is written in rhyme and is meant for children 8 and under.

Little Lion Goes to School is the first in a series that will follow the young Rastafarian through his adventures growing up in the Caribbean. While the book is set in the Caribbean, its themes and message are appropriate for children of all ethnicities.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This is the first of Media Magic's planned Caribbean children's titles. We focus on stories with positive, universal themes that can entertain as well as educate children.

From the Author

"I wanted to create a character that Caribbean children could relate to and look up to. I think that Caribbean children – whether in the region or in the Diaspora – need to have their own characters that they can identify with; characters that convey positive values and Caribbean traditions. But I think the story is one that all children can learn from."

This review is from: Little Lion Goes to School (Paperback)
My 2 year old son loves this book! He loves Lion's song at the end and can even sing a few of the lines. I don't read the book the same way each time which keeps him engaged. I especially like that the father is a central figure and role model for young Lion. All around great book.

This review is from: Little Lion Goes to School (Paperback)
This book is a treasure and a new classic. I've given several copies to friends and family. If we're very lucky, this story of a six year-old boy 'Little Lion', will be just the beginning of a long-term relationship between children and a wholy original character that is adorable, eccentric and very special.

In addition to being an engrossing, colorful read, and a great way to introduce or reinforce the values of tolerance and individuality, Little Lion is also a beautifully written, poetic work of children's literature. In the much more eloquent words of Jamaican scholar Dr. Elsa Leo Rhynie, "Little Lion is a book that should be in the library of every Caribbean boy and girl...The flow of rhyming is like music to a child's ear."

4.0 out of 5 stars My Little One Loves It, December 23, 2003

This review is from: Little Lion Goes to School (Paperback)
With great animation and just the right inflections, this book is perfect fodder for bedtime reading for toddlers.
Since I am determined for my chil to be literate by the time she is 3, I have been reading to my daughter since infancy and now she mocks my behavior by grabbing one of her numerous books and reading to herself.
I introduced this book t her after meeting the author in a bookstore and having it signed. My 2 year old fell in love with it immediately ! The next day I saw her in her favorite chair, trying to mock my voice while flipping through the pages. Mind you, this was only after ONE reading!
Ms. Magnus has that "it" Oprah raves about .. to write outstanding children's books. This book has a storyline any child can relate to and appreciate. This is a highly recommended one for your child's library.
The illustrations are outstanding as well.
This one is right next to my other favorite "Please Baby Please"
PICK THIS ONE UP... YOUR CHILD WOULD LOVE YOU FOR IT!
