Lionel loved to roar, but one day, he lost his roar. Due to this, he also learned to draw lovely pictures. He discovered he was amazing at drawing the whole jungle and loved his drawings. I would recommend this book to my kind sister.

Lion was roaring because he didn’t like drawing, but then he lost his voice and drew a picture of Flamingo. It tells us to give everything a chance. I love drawing.

I thought it was an amazing book. I really enjoyed this book. I think it was a fiction book. It was about a lion who lost his voice and hated drawing but then when he lost his voice he discovered he loved to draw. Then in the end he got his voice back.

I love all the artwork Lionel has done. I love art aswell. I have learnt how to try out new things. I have also learnt it is not good to be soo loud at times. Lionel was so loud he lost his voice.

It was good as it was about a lion called Leon who got a bad throat. I liked the lion because he ended up liking drawing. The book had pictures that showed how old Leon was because of his drawing skills. I would recommend it to Lara because she likes animals.

He likes the story. He likes when animals started to ask little lion to draw them. The animal he likes best is the monkey. Yes, he will recommend it.
