I Gave This Book 5  Roars!🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 5 Roars? Betty White was an inspiration and a joy to watch on television. Her real life was equally a joy to read about and she will be missed by many. 

Critical Analysis: This is a great way to introduce children to Betty White's legacy. 

“Animals don’t lie. Animals don’t criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do.”

~~ Betty White, If You Ask Me
