Book Review by Tabitha Makumi, Enabling Support Foundation Communications and PR.

A book on competition in early reading and learning is The Lion Who Wouldn’t Try. With various animals of the wild, Monkey, Cheetah, Springbok, Crocodile, Elephant and a Mouse, The Lion declines at the chance to play with other animals.

“Who can eat the most bananas?” the monkey asks “come play with us,” the animals prod the lion but the lion declines. Dialogue taking prominence in this early reading and learning children’s book, The Lion Who Wouldn’t Try teaches a kid in early learning on the use of quotation marks in creative writing and in early reading.

Authored by Liza Esterhuyse, designed by Nick Mulgrew, illustrated by André Kieswetter, and edited by Liz Sparg, The Lion Who Wouldn’t Try also teaches language by showing each animal’s name through spelling and naming.
