From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—Young Lenny loves his grandfather, King Lion, very much. But Lenny has noticed that his grandpa is beginning to change from his once proud, kind, and stately self to a tired, forgetful, and sometimes not-so-kind fellow. Lenny gains understanding with a little help from Hippo, who explains that as King Lion gets old, "bits of him are wearing out" and that his brain isn't working quite as well as it did and so he forgets things. Lenny's marble collection, a gift from Grandpa, lets King Lion recall some enjoyable experiences from his youth. Aging, however, is inevitable, as is growing up. Later, when Lenny becomes king, with his own son, he always remembers his grandfather. And he reminds the young animals "to be kind to their grandpas and grandmas, and to help them remember." Though purposeful, the gentle telling bypasses explicit death and the harsher parts of dealing with aging. Images, rendered by the illustrator of Badger's Parting Gift (HarperCollins, 1984), of the animal kingdom are equally gentle. VERDICT This title may be used as a complement to Mem Fox's Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge (1985).—Maria B. Salvadore, formerly at District of Columbia Public Library

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This is a poignant, but excellent tale for young children whose grandparents are experiencing dementia ... By Deb Lenny watched as his grandpa, King Lion, scratched his head while he looked at the Snakes and Ladders game. Oh, my goodness! Something was terribly wrong. Grandpa didn’t even know which way was up, which way was down, and he “couldn’t remember Lenny’s name.” The once handsome, strong, and kingly looking King Lion even looked different. He sat in his rocking chair looking out of sorts and even his mane looked kind of scraggly. Lenny stood in front of him tossing a soccer ball up and down. *Hint, hint,* but grandpa wasn’t interested. “What’s that,” he asked. Something was really, truly, seriously wrong with King Lion.It grew even more confusing with time. One of the strangest things was that “grandpa’s crown [was] in the trash bin with some other things that shouldn’t have been there.” Lenny’s face grew worried when he saw not only that crown in the trash, but also his candy, a pencil, and a comb. King Lion was all nestled in his bed, but it wasn’t bedtime. Something was really, truly, seriously wrong with King Lion. Grandma tried to reassure Lenny, and explained “Don’t worry, Lenny. I’ll play with you. Grandpa’s not himself today.” Just what was wrong with grandpa King Lion? Was there anything Lenny could do to help him?This is a poignant, but excellent tale for young children whose grandparents are experiencing dementia. Of course there are many forms of dementia, but young children like Lenny only know that their grandparents are not quite right. Lenny remembers a lively, vivacious King Lion, not the grandpa that is confused and a bit mean at times. This is certainly a wonderful book that will help young children understand what’s happening as they journey with Lenny and King Lion. Lenny does learn how to help grandpa King Lion, something that may work for others. The artwork is beautiful and meshes well with the tale. This is an excellent read and discuss tale for anyone who has a family member in the throes of dementia.This book courtesy of the publisher.
