Synopsis

 

The Kingdom of Sher and the Kingdom of Mir were good neighbors. But the Kingdom of Sher had a lion. And the farmers in the Kingdom of Sher raised sheep.

Every night, the lion from the Kingdom of Sher sneaked into the Kingdom of Mir and ate sheep that belonged to families who lived there.

The King proclaimed a contest to Stop the Lion. The servants announced the rules: The winning solution must be fair! The winner will be the King’s Royal Advisor. Losers must give the King their most precious possession.

 

 

 

 

Review

 

Wynnie is one wise young lady. She discovers the solution to the problem just by asking a few questions. I’m not sure I would have thought of her answer to the problem of stopping the lion from eating the sheep.

I enjoyed this story and think that it could be a teaching tool for young children to think outside of the box and to problem solve.

The illustrations depict the story quite well and are colorful yet realistic.

We give this book 5 paws up.
