One day all the animals in the forest received an invitation to meet with the lion, he had a big announcement. All the animals wondered what could this be about? Have you ever had to wait for a big announcement or surprise, and wondered what it was all about? If so, then you realize the excitement that was felt.The author, Assaf Marcus, has written an inspiring book about good lessons to be learned. What is life all about. The animals all met in the forest at the appointed time and day. What they found were an assortment of cups, some beautiful and big, some ugly and small. And then they smelled the wonderful aroma of oranges and orange juice. The first animals chose the prettiest cups and lined up to receive the orange juice from the lion's assistant. The other animals who arrived later took the left over cups, but there was plenty of orange juice for everyone. Soon, the lion appeared, and when you read this story you will learn what the lion had to say. The illustrations by Monty Stikkman, are vivid and colorful and depict all the adventures of the involved animals. Parents/teachers will have a good time reading this book to their children. The lessons to be learned will open up a good discussion of what is important and how wise was the lion. I liked this book particularly for the lessons learned,but also for the story that was told.Recommended. prisrob 07-08-14
