Andy and the Lion by James Daugherty*

"A Tale of Kindness Remembered or the Power of Gratitude"
First published in 1938 and still keeps children spellbound!
Andy borrows a book from the library about lions and reads the book all day and all evening.  Right before bed, his grandfather tells him tales about hunting lions in Africa.  Andy dreams about lions and the next day, thinks about him as he readies himself for school and walks to school.  And what does he encounter?  A Lion!
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring, predicting 
Guided Reading Level: M (second grade)
Grade Level Equivalent: 3.1
This story is a retelling of Androcles and the Lion by Aesop.
