Lions

Two tiny lion cubs are practicing their future hunting skills by biting and pouncing on something that's moving in the grass. The object of their game is--their father's long tail!
The huge father lion lazily rolls in the hot grass, patiently allowing his babies to use his body for climbing and a game of hide-and-seek. But if another male lion or predators, such as a pack of hyenas, comes close, the powerful father lion won't hesitate to attack and fight to protect his family. - Meet a father lion, the lionesses, and their cubs that make up a lion pride. - Learn how the family hunts together and rules their grassland territory. - And discover the life cycle of a lion cub and the important role that its father plays in protecting and raising the little animal.
Filled with fascinating information and beautiful images, this lovely book is a must-have for young children who enjoy books about animals and nonfiction reading.
