About this deal

But knowing how much the two cared about one another just made it worse (or better, from a storyteller's point of view). e For Berite looking out into the African bush and seeing the tiger for the very first time or his first night alone in the boarding school so very far away from anything he was familiar with. Together they discover that Monsieur Merlot's circus has closed down, but that the Frenchman lives nearby with the lion. It just didn't explain that much like when it said the lion was going to the circus it didn't tell you what he had done there. Sweeping across decades and continents, the butterfly lion provides a combination of love stories, a boy and his lion; a boy and a girl; a man and a woman.

The story is kept interesting by flipping from one generation to the next, and by setting it in different places. Some are black-and-white and kinda frame the text, others are full-colour illustrations that sometimes even span double-pages. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners.The book is full of descriptive writing and emotion that pulls you into the book and allows you to feel like you are actually there. However, he is carefully ambiguous enough to allow a wide verity of readers to identify directly with him. They have three farms in Devon, Wales and Gloucestershire, open to inner city school children who come to stay and work with the animals. There are so many benefits from listening to a story in any format, from developing listening skills and quite concentration to fostering imagination and visualization techniques.

The character of the boy mirrors that of the husband Bertie as they both run way and have to deal with loneliness. The Butterfly Lion transports the reader/listener to two very different continents and several different stages in time.You could also consider Lilly’s perspective, when she met Bertie or when he went away to fight in the war. Comment: The spine or cover may be slightly worn but the book is otherwise in good condition and will provide thought provoking read! He, a soldier in the 'Great war' and the relationship they formed and maintained with the small lion cub he had befriended in Africa and the twists and turns of their story ending with the outline of the lion cut out on the chalk hill above the house on which hundreds of butterflies land to take their nourishment.

It is a small book and so would be great for children who sometimes can feel intimidated by the amount of pages in a book. He has written more than 150 novels and won many prizes, including the Smarties Prize, the Whitbread Award and the Blue Peter Book Award, while several of his books have been adapted for stage and screen, including the global theatrical phenomenon War Horse. He is also the author of WAR HORSE, which has been made into a Tony Award-winning Broadway play and a Golden Globe-nominated film. Bertie swears that one day they will see one another again, but the butterfly lion ensures that their friendship will never be forgotten. The language and accents,transport you into the story, also,helping the listener appreciate unfamiliar accents and dialects.The protagonist of the story is a young boy who is well characterised by Morpurgo allowing the reader to get on board and feel the emotions of the character. The tale follows the young boy who meets a number of people, the most important of which is an old lady who tells the boy a story of her (and her husbands) life, this is where the lion also comes in to it. The story is that of a boy, Michael, running away from boarding school and meeting an old woman who tells him of another young boy, Bertie, who had once done the same. He was a loving, kind and gentle creature although he was a lion and he was an extremely beautiful animal.

The book ends up in a magical way, but now I am not going to tell you, so you have to read this book and find the ending out! Michael Morpurgo appeared on the map for me after I first saw the movie and then read the book War Horse.It turns out that is not the case and that it is an actual real force of nature, though the twist at the end ( I don't want to spoil it for you) makes you question this yet again.
