  3. I thought the butterfly lion was a lion that had butterfly wings. I didn’t understand the story because it kept on jumping time to time. I will rate this ‘not for me.’

  4. We thought this book was amusing. It’s about a boy Bertie who goes hunting and finds a white lion. A frenchman comes and takes the lion away from Bertie. Bertie leaves the country and later on in life he finds it again.

    The part which made us laugh the most was when we met the frenchman with the lion again. You could really build up a picture in your head and place yourself at the scene.

    We also enjoyed the part where Bertie marries the lady. We think this was romantic. Everyone loves romance, don’t you?

    Our favourite part though was the clever twist at the end.

    We think this book is an all rounder with its good times and bad. We would recommend this book to anyone, so chop chop start reading!

    not for me

    We read this book as a class and the majority of us thought that it was not for us. Generally, we prefer to read action books and found The Butterfly Lion too slow paced. Also, the author kept jumping between different times which confused us. However, a few of us really enjoyed reading this book. We loved reading about the developing friendship between Bertie and the lion, and found the plot unique and interesting. We would recommend this book to animal lovers and those who enjoy an emotional read.

    I really, really love this book. I like Michael Morpurgo’s books even though some are quite sad. Michael Morpurgo’s books are for all ages, young and old.
