Animal

This book simultaneously tells the story of a lion and a boy who both have asthma. The pictures on each page show either a boy or a lion. I gave this book 4 starts because it was really great and could be used in a variety of settings. I had asthma when I was younger and I never read a book about it. I was glad to find a book that children could relate to. You could use this book to help a child cope with his or her asthma or use it to teach the class why a child has to use a machine with medicine every day. I think you could also read this book and make the children draw how they think asthma feels, or if they have it how it does feel to them. ( )
