Synopsis: Little lion cub is keen to point out similarities between him and his mum. But when it comes to certain things, there’s no-one like mum!
Review: Meet little lion who loves being like mum, which includes waking up early and having interesting ideas; and it’s just like mum to offer cuddles at the right time. There is very little text as it isn’t necessary. It’s David Melling’s delicious illustrations that are the real strength of this book: Mum’s face as she is woken up; her expression as she heroically holds up the toy boat safely out of the reach of marauding crocodiles and the cosy picture on the last page when all little lion’s play mates along with his dad enjoy a cuddle. Mum’s love for her little one shines out of this book, and it will leave everyone with a warm glow.
