In this companion to Stay Close to Mama, lion cub Kito wants to be like his father, but his attempts to roar, pounce, etc. prove unsuccessful. Kito finally gains confidence after joining a wildebeest hunt. The playful scenes can be hard to reconcile with the brooding Lion King–reminiscent illustrations of the savanna at night. An author's note discusses lion behavior.
