About This Book:
Two tiny lion cubs are practicing their future hunting skills by biting and pouncing on something that’s moving in the grass. The object of their game is–their father’s long tail!
The huge father lion lazily rolls in the hot grass, patiently allowing his babies to use his body for climbing and a game of hide-and-seek. But if another male lion or predators, such as a pack of hyenas, comes close, the powerful father lion won’t hesitate to attack and fight to protect his family.
- Meet a father lion, the lionesses, and their cubs that make up a lion pride.
- Learn how the family hunts together and rules their grassland territory.
- And discover the life cycle of a lion cub and the important role that its father plays in protecting and raising the little animal.
Filled with fascinating information and beautiful images, this lovely book is a must-have for young children who enjoy books about animals and nonfiction reading.
