Love reading this with my grandkids. Leads to lots of conversations. ( )

There are seven steps to becoming a proper lion, including Looking Fierce, Roaring, Prowling Around, and Pouncing. Our young hero, a rather meek and scrawny human boy, does his best to learn the necessary skills during his training with a master instructor (who just happens to be a real lion). After a grueling set of lessons, the boy discovers that that the final step—Looking Out for Your Friends—is the most important of all.

This boy tries very hard to act like a lion to earn his diploma...but it looks like he might not have the skills...YET. Might be useful to talk about growth-mindset. ( )
