Book Reviews of Christian the Lion
Book Review: Christian the Lion
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book as a gift before I knew there was a youtube video. The book is simply written but is a very poignant story. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down! I would recommend this book to all animal lovers because its story defies all that we are supposed to believe about animals in their "wild" habitat. My husband teaches 4th grade and is planning on reading it to his class and then having them watch the youtube video.
Summary of Christian the Lion
As Ace and John, two friends, are searching for holiday gifts in London, they come across a lion cub for sale in Harrods, the famous department store! Unable to bear the thought of leaving the cub, Ace and John take him home and name him Christian. After a year of fun and mischief Christian has grown up, and Ace and John realize that their pet needs to be among other lions and deserves to live free, in his natural environment. Luckily, friends help introduce Christian to the African wild.Christian the Lion tells the riveting true story of one animal's ability to adapt to life in the wild, and captures the unexpectedly enduring connection between man and animal.
