How Do You Lift a Lion?

By Robert E. Wells

How do you lift a lion? With a machine that's big and powerful with clanking metal parts? There are machines like that. But others have only a few moving parts. In fact, some machines are so simple that they don't seem like machines at all—like the wheel, the lever, and the pulley. These machines can make work easy—even if you're trying to lift a lion!

Reviews for How Do You Lift a Lion?

[dtortorice_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book to help children deal with situations that make them mad. A variety of scenarios are discussed and why it bothers the child. The book is good because the children can relate to the pics and see they are not alone. I only take off a half star because the song at the end is kind of silly, but I guess that's the point. But it's a little dated.
