Cannonball Coralie and the Lion by Grace Easton
4.0
Coralie meets Lion and befriends him. She wants to join the circus so they can stay together! But will the shouty man with the big hat allow it?
Suspension of disbelief: We don't know about Coralie's parents, why she is alone in the woods. For the time you read the book, it works, but afterwards come the questions.
The story is simple and straightforward, the pictures are colourfull and fun. Also, I like how Coralie looks. She's not exactly chubby, but she's not reed-thin, either. And that's okay! Children don't need to look like models. Healthy is healthy is healthy.
Since she climbs, races and juggles all day long, I'd say this girl has very well developed muscles. She's a do-er. She might be afraid some times, but with the help of friends she can get over it - and this is what it means to be brave.
Liked this one. Would love to know what they'll get up to in the future.
Though I still wonder about her parents.
I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
