We are roaring into November with our lion themed picture book chat, featuring an amazing special guest, Victoria MacKinlay!
Next Thursday evening at 8pm AEST we will be chatting about lion themed picture books and celebrating Victoria’s beautiful book ‘The Lion Who Came to Stay’, illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh.
When Francis writes a letter to his parents in India, it results in the most surprising, wonderful Christmas gift, a lion cub called Singh.
The cub and Francis become the closest of friends, exploring the city, searching the sky for stars, snuggling down to sleep and learning to ROAR!
A true story of friendship, loyalty and love.
Thanks to Scholastic, I have a copy of ‘The Lion Who Came To Stay’ to give away to a chat participant on Thursday! The winner will be announced at the end of the chat.
Here are the chat questions for the November #picbookbc chat!
Q1. A lion can sure steal the show when it enters the pages of a book! What are your favourite lion themed picture books/s? Share a pic! #picbookbc
Q2. Why do you think lions make truly excellent picture book characters? #picbookbc
Q3. Have you noticed any common themes /lessons featured in lion themed picture books? #picbookbc
Q4. ‘The Lion Who Came to Stay’ was based on a true story. Share a favourite picture book that is based around real events #picbookbc
We look forward to you joining us for a ROAR-some celebration on Thursday the 4th of November at 8pm AEST for another #picbookbc Twitter chat! Remember to double check your time zone (8pm AEST is QLD time).
