I received a digital review copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Just like "10 Reasons to Love...a Penguin," this was a fun and informative picture book, explaining many reasons why we should "love" lions (and other animals in the series).
Again, the intent seems to be for this series to act as inspiration for learning about protecting lions and their habitats, but this idea is only vaguely mentioned on the last page, in 2-3 sentences. It does not go further into how farmers, hunters, and environmental issues impact the lions, or make suggestions for how to help the lions, so children will need to look elsewhere for further information about these issues.
However, once again, the illustrations are vibrant and colorful, and the book is a fun way to entice children to start caring about these issues.

Among all the animal books written for young children, "10 Reasons to Love ... a Penguin" is tooo cute to ignore. The book alone does not provide through information about penguins but random fun and unique facts about penguins I don't know if the 10 facts presented in the book could prompts any penguin-haters to reverse their adversities, but it certainly gives me 10 reasons to love the book. Cute, educational and engrossing.
I love how the author attempts to entice children to love the penguins (and as well other animals in the series.) To preserve precious animals on our planets, children need to be educated. The fate of our ecosystem lies in the hands of the future generations.
The price, though, is a bit hefty for such a short book. About $1 per fact. Consider children will mostly outgrown the series.within few years, if parents want to own the entire series that would make quite an expansive investment. But the series is definitely on my to-be-purchased list and I will be glad to check out other titles in the series.

The "10 Reasons to Love" is a great series to introduce animals to young toddlers, and this lion book is another great one in the series. The illustrations and text are simple, fun and easy enough to capture young children's attention.
The 10 facts presented in this book are some common knowledge about lions. Young kids for sure will find the facts fascinating. A cute picture to own but not necessary a wise long-term investment; children easily outgrown the book fairy quickly.
I wished the book elaborates more about lions' vulnerable conservation status and their roles in our ecosystem. These facts are briefly mentioned but not enough to make strong statements. Regardless, "10 Reasons to Love ... a Lion" still makes a fun and educational picture book for children.

I liked the thickness of the paper, the use of sea turtle facts on each page, and the lovely art! It talks about several different kinds of sea turtles and gives lots of great advice about how humans can help turtles thrive in the oceans! Lovely intermediate introduction to sea turtles!

This an absolutely adorable book within a very serious message. It is a beautifully illustrated book and advises of some amazing facts about and reasons to love penguins but also advises how children and all people can change their lifestyles or complete actions to help ensure the continuing survival of penguin species and their natural habitat This is definitely a book all parents should read and enjoy with their children.

Short, simple text makes this easy to read, and sweet yet realistic illustrations offer readers a chance to see eight species of bears in a variety of habitats and activities (ten to be exact!). One- or two-sentence sidebars suggest ways readers can "Show You Love a Bear" with an environmental angle as well.

'10 Reasons to Lovea Penguin' by Catherine Barr with ill...ustrations by Hanako Clulow is a picture book that gives 10 reasons to love penguins, as if anyone needed them.
The reader will learn that there are 18 species of penguin, and see many of them in action through the course of the book. The reasons to love penguins include some of the things they can do like leaping out of the water or seeing underwater. They march for their babies and have lots of friends. Along the way, the reader will learn how they can love a penguin too, with suggestions like buying food or power that doesn't harm penguins, or even paying to sponsor one.
The art is good with lots of the different animals and plants labelled for readers to learn along with. The facts are not overwhelming for young readers. I liked this book about penguins and the fun things they can do.

'10 Reasons to Love....A Lion' by Catherine Barr with illustrations by Hanako Clulow is a book filled with all the reasons that lions are great.
There is only one species of Lion and while thye once roamed in Asia, Africa and Europe, they are now only in central and southern Africa and a small part of India. Besides their great mane and terrific roar, they are also loved because they live and hunt in families. There are also other reasons too.
The book is filled with gorgeous illustrations and different animals and plants are named. Along with the reasons to love a lion are practical ways that the reader can help: buying special greeting cards that contribute to conservation, or adopting a remote lion and being sent facts.
