We're Going on a Lion Hunt

This picture book voyage over the African savanna is a retelling of a well-known children's poem, and it is full of David Axtell's gorgeous pictures of amazing creatures. Two sisters go out to find a lion on the African savanna. They pass through swishy swashy long grass, a splashy lake, and a big dark cave – but when they meet the lion, they must run, run, run all the way home.

In this gorgeously illustrated version of a well-known children's chant, two sisters are seeking a lion—a lion that lives on the African savanna, where the girls travel through swishy swashy tall grass, a splashy lake, and a Big Dark Cave. When they finally encounter their lion, they must run, run, run through it all again in order to return home. Young readers will appreciate the fun language and gorgeous illustrations that situate a familiar narrative in an unexpected and very special corner of the world.
