"Printed in color, the action words are set apart from the black text, which is placed within the double-page illustrations. Mathieu's colored-pencil and watercolor artwork bounces off the spreads. He gives the characters individual facial expressions, which convey their changing moods." --School Library Journal

"An entertaining version of a ubiquitous imagination game for storytimes and animal-themed class units." --Booklist

"...the classroom setting this outing offers make it a terrific invitation for young readers to take "Lion Hunt" out of the story circle for some happy dramatic play." --Kirkus Reviews
