I Gave This Book 4 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁

Why 4 Roars? I think kids will enjoy the silliness of the book, especially those that love dinosaurs and hamburgers.

Critical Analysis:The book was a little longer than I would have preferred, and parents might need to explain how food is actually grown or made for younger readers. For example, the "Bread Forest" full of buns might confuse kids if they do not already know how bread is made. Older children might get the humor easier with less work for parents. However, this is a great book for celebrating National Hamburger Day, because the book actually references the holiday.
