This charming version of a well-known chant takes place on the African savanna
In this beautifully illustrated rendition of a well-known children's chant, two
sisters are looking not for a bear but for a lion--a lion that lives on the Afr
ican savanna, where the girls go through swishy-swashy long grass, a splishy-spl
ashy lake, and a Big Dark Cave. When they finally meet their lion, they have to
run, run, run through it all again to get back home.
Young readers will enjoy t
he playful language and beautiful paintings that reset a familiar story in a far
-off part of the world.
