Lafcadio is an
imaginary tale about a lion who loves marshmallows. Departing from a collection
of poems, in this children’s short story, Silverstein aids little ones in
expanding their fantasies as Lafcadio learns how to walk, talk, dress, eat and
even shoot a gun like a human. Young readers also face a moral dilemma when
Lafcadio is tired of human life, but lion life isn’t quite appealing anymore
either.
Small fingers
will love this page turner. The illustrations and the text cooperate in
creating a magical world for young imaginations. Preschool and primary students
will savor this story, and adults will be entertained by the fresh silliness
contained within the pages. The content is very graspable for developing minds,
while the implied meanings and dilemmas can be grappled by more advanced
intellect. All readers alike will enjoy Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back.
