Jim's Lion by Russell Hoban

4.0

This book would be great to use with small groups of children who can all see a copy of the book as the illustrations in this story are very powerful and important for the message. The story follows Jim as he searches for his finder, representing his strength to mentally prepare for a big operation. This book could therefore help children or siblings of children who are ill and having to have an operation. There are also lots of opportunities for predictions and questions about how the characters may be feeling based on the illustration. A powerful and unique book which would be perfect to use with KS2 children.
