How Loud Is a Lion?

(4) PS Illustrated by Clare Beaton. "Cheetahs are spotty, zebras are stripy, / But how loud is a lion? Shhh! Listen! / Hoopoes are happy, chimpanzees are sneaky, / But how loud is a lion? Shhh! Listen!" Though the text's logic is questionable, the repeated titular question provides some minimal suspense in this introduction to jungle animals. In any case, it is Beaton's textured pictures made from fabric, beads, and felt that are the main attraction here.
