Andy and the Lion by James Daugherty

4.0

Wow, this one really shows just how much children's pictures books and the Caldecott award has evolved through the years since this was a Caldecott Honor book. I definitely wouldn't consider the artwork worth writing home, now, but back in the day--this was a top-notch children's picture book! I didn't like the reference to hunting lions at the beginning of the story, but overall it was a good story that ended well (I guess grandparents still say crazy things, so it was still relatable). I also loved that it was a tribute to the lions outside of the NYC Library--very cool!
