This short, concise chapter book . . . is easy to comprehend and features common things of interest to children ages four to seven, making it a perfect addition for homes and classrooms of preschool and early elementary school-aged students."--Portland Book Review<br><br>"There's something new under the sun: <em>Sun Flower Lion</em> is a fresh spin on the traditional cumulative tale. . . . Imagination, not action, fuels the narrative. . . . [Henkes] spur[s] toddlers to look for similarities among images. The book concludes with a cozy, applause-worthy curtain call."--Shelf Awareness<br><br>"As demonstrated in <em>A Parade of Elephants</em>, Henkes is a master in rendering the simple fascinating . . . A story that's warm and . . . gently humorous. . . . Two-color art, in shades of black and yellow, centers on the ruffled yellow circle that is variously sun, flower, and face of lion. . . . Perfect as a title to delight pre-readers and offer satisfying read-along opportunities."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books<br><br>"A sun, a flower, and a lion. . . . Henkes creates an impeccably designed story that's rewarding for toddlers and early readers alike. . . . With imagination at its center, this participatory read-aloud also cleverly introduces the concept of simile and metaphor. . . . As brilliant as can be."--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"A white circle with a scalloped yellow border--is it the sun? A flower? A lion? It's all three. . . . A great pick for beginning readers. . . . With a return to a . . . limited color palette like that of Henkes's award-winning <em>Kitten's First Full Moon</em>, this is a must-have for all collections."--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Masterfully employing brush and ink, with a striking color palette . . . Henkes creates a simple but thought-provoking story. Using panel illustrations, the book is divided into chapters, setting the pace of the narrative and helping the reader understand comparisons between items. . . . A perfect book for storytime reading or family bedtime sharing."--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Meet the sun . . . a flower that looks like a lion; and a lion, who sees the flower and dreams about a field of them. . . . A perfectly paced picture book . . . An endearing, seemingly simple story with a wide-eyed and memorable protagonist, whose adventures will delight preschoolers and support and encourage those taking first steps toward reading."--Horn Book <strong>(starred review)</strong><br><br>"Simple words and repeating forms draw beginning readers into this iterative volume by Henkes. Its central visual element, a circle with a ruffled edge, could signify the sun, a flower, or a lion with a mane--and here, it's all three. . . . Yellow spreads convey warmth and light . . . in this lighthearted reading exercise."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em><br>
