Roar!: A Noisy Counting Book, Hardcover/Pamela Duncan Edwards

One day, while great big lions lie basking in the sun, a little lion cub goes off to find some fun. Roars the little lion cub. "Who will play with me? 1 red monkey rushes up a tree. Poor little lion cubAll he wants is someone to play with, but he is simply too noisy. As the little lion cub Roars his way across the grassland, young picture-book readers can count the African animals, identify them by color...and Roars along too. This rollicking, Roaring poem, about a rambunctious little lion cub, is a collaboration of the talented author and illustrator team Pamela Duncan Edwards and Henry Cole.
