Illustrated by
Matt Buckingham.
When Big Lion boasts that he's the best, Sister Lion wants to know, best at what? He becomes infuriated when the other animals show him he's not the fastest, most agile, or strongest, and they quietly laugh at him. When he roars a thundering roar, all the animals stop laughing. The cheerful illustrations make this an appealing story of appreciating one's talents.
