Little Lion wants to be the loudest, the biggest, and the prettiest
animal ever! But when the other animals outdo Little Lion again and
again, who will lovingly remind the discouraged young cub that there are
many ways to be the best? A sweet story about self-confidence and the
importance of family sure to delight toddlers.
CAN'T CATCH ME!
Join Little Lion on a bouncy pouncing adventure! What will happen
when the mischievous cub tries to catch a grasshopper, chameleon, rabbit
— or even a rhinoceros? A delightful seek-and-find book perfect for
interactive story times with toddlers.

gone to sleep! Full of repeating refrains and charming illustrations of
sleeping animals, this humorous bedtime book is designed to develop
