Because he's unusually small, a lion is taunted mercilessly by a leopard, hippopotamus, and crocodile. Then, prompted by a helpful raven, the little lion uses a clever trick of perspective to show everyone he's big enough to touch the moon, leaving the bullies satisfyingly speechless. Thick, skillfully applied black outlines add texture to the expressive digital illustrations in this German import.

I Like to Read series.
At the beach with her dog Toto, Anna doesn't think much of the youngster wearing a "silly cowboy hat"--until ocean waves pull Toto away and the boy lassos him back. Simple sentences in large font provide new readers with action, tension, and some surprises. Boldly colored, black-outlined illustrations add drama and depth to a narrative that highlights a new friendship.
