I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁


Why 4 Roars? The story is simple but a great way for kids to connect to nature. The question that came to mind was, Why is the mushroom trying to make friends with the animals instead of other mushrooms?   


Critical Analysis: 
The book is full of great illustrations. The illustrations portray a beautiful Fall afternoon by a lake. The art work is lovely and who doesn't love a little mushroom? 

There is also a Finnish edition of the book titled, Pieni Sieni
