"The Butterfly Lion" won the 1996 Smarties Book Prize and the Writers' Guild Children's Book Award in1996. It was shortlisted for the Young Telegraph/ Fully Booked Children's Paperback of the Year Award 1996 and The Children's Book Award 1996. "This beautifully written story has all the elements that make youngsters fall in love with reading. A lonely young boy named Bertie develops a very special relationship with a white lion who becomes his only friend. One day his father announces that Bertie must go away to school and the white lion is sold to a circus. Heartbroken, Bertie vows one day to be reunited with his soul mate. The tale of Bertie's growing up and eventual reconnection with the lion will keep readers young and old enthralled. Ideal for children aged 7-11 (and grown-ups too!)" Heather's review. Methodology: A text and reader-oriented approach.
