### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent story to read with a child and explore with them
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021*

Idries Shah is a master storyteller and his version of this ancient fable is wonderful to read with young children, especially with the lovely illustrations. Youngsters often respond vividly to the dilemma of the lion who is stricken with fear when surprised by his reflection in a pool of water. For an adult, like myself, the sincerity and intensity of the child can be a wake up reminder that this core element of the narrative is not just a cute plot device but a rich metaphor of a kind of fear that gets in the way of understanding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars

I purchased several Idries Shah books for my five year old granddaughter.  We both enjoy the stories, and you can see mentally processing the ideas put forth.  This book provided an excellent introduction to the idea of not jumping to conclusions about things.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good read about facing fears and discussing emotions
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021*

We read a lot of books in this household both because as a parent, I love the relationship that is formed with my child as a learning reader and because as an educator I know the power that every book and every story holds.The day this book arrived, I ripped open the package trying to remember what I had ordered from Amazon this time, and saw the book. I left the book poking out the bubble sleeve. When my child got home from school, the glossy cover caught her attention. She immediately pulled the book out of the sleeve and asked if we could read it. I said we would read it together before bedtime and she went on to try and read on her own. I then proceeded to read it with her to get a good read on how impactful the story was upon first reading.Highlights: beautiful artistry by Ingrid Rodriguez totally enraptured my animal-loverSimple, easy to follow “story line”* that easily allowed for open conversation about parallels between the lion/animals in the jungle and self/feelingsIs a good length (not too long/short)This book is available in an e-versionThis book is also available in SpanishWe really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who raising or caring for children who they want to be emotionally intelligent.*I use quotes around storyline because inside the book it’s states that it is an adaptation written by a 13th century Sufi poet.#ReadYourWorld
