A young cub learns by watching his father

Across a day and night on the savanna, Kito copies the ways his lion father protects the pride, from roaring to pouncing. Though he is too small to catch a wildebeest, the cub has a hunt of his own, and imagines becoming king like Papa someday. Their everyday imitation and play give the story a clear focus on a young child’s admiration for a parent and the bond they share. The publisher describes the text as rhythmic, making it suited to reading aloud together.

Book overview

From a New York Times bestselling author, this heartwarming and richly illustrated story of love between a father and son lion is the perfect read aloud for Father's Day and beyond.

Kito wants to be just like his papa, the protector of the pride. Throughout a day and night on the savanna, the cub imitates the way his father roars, swings his tail, shakes his head, and pounces. Kito may be too little to catch a wildebeest, but he is brave enough to succeed in his own hunt. Someday he will be King, just like Papa!

With its rhythmic text, dramatic moments on the African plain, and playful times for cub and papa, this is the perfect book for parents to share with their own littlest cubs.
