Enchanted Lions is a story about a girl who is trying to go to sleep one night, but when she looks out of her window shes lions on the shore of the beach. The lions are enchanted and one of them takes young Rose on a ride through the night sky. They travel through the constellations on a magical journey. They are having a great time until they need to be rescued from a big black hole. They make their way back home and Rose says goodbye to her lion. When she returns to her room she sees all the lions going back into the sea. When she gets back into her bed she falls fast asleep.
This magical story is a great modern fantasy mixed with a little science fiction. The story rhymes and is very melodic. I would say this could is for young children in 1st-2nd grade but some of the scientific words will be over the head of kids that age. I think older kids who may be learning about the solar system or outer space may enjoy it as well. The idea of this story was different then anything else that I have read lately which was very refreshing.
The luminous pictures are not the best I have seen, but I think children will still enjoy them very much. This story is very imaginative and I think it is a great way to get kids imaginations running wild. It is also a great story to read before bed because it takes place during the night time. Overall, I found this book to be really nice. It is a smooth read with the rhyming and has a unique and interesting story that I think some kids will enjoy.
