Follow ten lion cubs as they make their way home through the
savannah in a lulling, lyrical read-aloud that gently introduces
counting to young ones. The sun begins to set on the savannah, and
ten little lions must find their way home before dark. One by one,
lion cubs emerge from trees, past bouncing monkeys and braying
zebras. They cross a stream, watch a herd of thundering wildebeest,
and explore the darkening beauty of the landscape. As the moon
rises, ten little lion cubs curl up together just in time for
bedtime, under their mothers’ watch in a space that is cosy and
warm. Kate Banks’s gorgeously melodic text, paired with Lauren
Tobia’s charming illustrations, create a lullaby to ensure the
sweetest of dreams.

grandparents, her aunties, her cousins Chocolate, Angel and Benz,
her uncle Tunde and her father, who each offer her a way to express
her boundless joy. But being around the people she loves so much
only makes her happiness grow and grow; she is SO happy, she is
going to EXPLODE! It is her mother who finally helps her to channel
her brimming happiness. Sitting in her mango tree Anna sings an
amazing song. Amazing is Africa. Amazing is Anna Hibiscus.
