I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 4 Roars? I gave this book 4 roars. I felt that the price of the book is high for most parents. The book includes Get-Ready-For-Bed/Hygiene Charts in the back of the book. However, the price is more than what most people expect for a board book.  I did find cheaper audio and Kindle versions, but not a physical version without the charts. 

I liked the book, especially the rhyming verse, and kids will find it easy to relate to, but I would have liked a cheaper physical copy without the charts.

Critical Analysis: The book is a cute story in verse that appeals to children that love bubble baths. Lots of adventure and fun disguises the learning. The book includes the days of the week; “Monday, he's a monster.”  It also encourages hygiene and bedtime routine.
