A lion called Christian - Anthony Bourke

Extensive reading improves fluency and there is a real
need in the ELT classroom for motivating graded material that will
encourage students to read.

In 2008, YouTube.com showed an extraordinary clip of the reunion
between two young men and their pet lion in Kenya.

It was watched by millions of people around the world.

A Lion Called Christian is the true story of two Australians
living in London who bought a pet lion cub called Christian
in the 1970s and his subsequent journey to his rightful home in
the wild.
