great book for kids

it's fun to watch their faces and see if they (the kids) look shocked or laugh

Irreverently funny...

I stumbled across this book while buying supplies for the "literature center" in my PreK classroom. The school director gave me a funny look when I showed it to her, but the children adored it. It incited tons of snickers and giggles, followed by whispers, pointing fingers, and more laughter. I've found that this book has the same effect on adults, lol. Definately a must-read.The illustrations are wonderful... just wait until you get to the part where Jim is *actually eaten by the lion*...that naughty boy. :)Enjoy!
