(4) PS Illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees. It's time for Baby Leo to have his nap, so all jungle noises must stop. Papa Lion gives one enormous roar, quieting the jungle cacophony. But one by one, the animals start "cawing," "chuckling," and "howling," only to be shushed by Papa Lion. Regardless, Baby Leo sleeps soundly until he is awakened in a most surprising way. This is a slight but rowdy tale featuring colorful, action-packed art that's likely to amuse listeners.
