(4) PS Illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. Told that she is too small to compete in the Jungle Run race, lion Cub proves that her diminutive stature is advantageous when she outmaneuvers the other animals through the course's obstacles. Generic but amiable cartoon illustrations and a sometimes stumbling meter don't add to the story, but the message that size is irrelevant to success will be empowering to preschoolers.
