Title: We're Going on a Lion Hunt
Author: Margery Cuyler

 A different take on the old classic we’re going on a bear hunt. In this story a class of kindergartners and their teacher head of on an imaginary safari to find a lion.  Just the same as the original story the children and their teacher have obstacles to get through to find the lion, they head through mud, sticks, long grass and a few other obstacles before they come across a dark cave. The children reading along with this story may get a little spooked but it is not too bad as the children in the story find a cold nose and sharp teeth and realise it’s a lion! They run all the way back to their classroom for safety.  The author has incorporated repetition, sound effects and participation opportunities to encourage a fun and exciting story to read. This along with beautiful bright cartoon watercolour and pencil illustrations help the children connect with the animals and their native habitat of the safari.
