If I Were A Lion


We own a book titled If I Were A Lion. The book cover has a little girl roaring at a lion, with a lion roaring back at her. It's a catchy rhyming story about a mom who calls her daughter "wild". The daughter goes on to say "I'm not wild! If I were a wild I would be like a lion. I would roar and have sharp teeth, etc. etc." If you pay attention to the illustrations throughout the story, the crayon drawings on the wall get more and more elaborate as the story goes on...as if the girl continues to write on the wall as she sits in "time out".
The thing that cracks me up is Chezney calls this book "the Chezney book". She loves this book and I think it fits her well....
