While walking in her local jungle, Sarah happens into a “great big angry lion!” (n.p.). He tells her that no one walks in the jungle—or sings—then lists the ways animals move and communicate. It seems that the only thing Sarah is good for is LUNCH. She objects, so Lion allows her to draw a pic ture of him, but he challenges the image he sees. When the other animals agree that he really is a “great big angry lion!,” he decides to change. Al though the book is marginally didactic, young readers will enjoy the rhyth mic, onomatopoetic language. lmp

Look out, Sarah: If you can't impress the lion, he'll eat you for lunch! A quick-witted girl teaches the King of the Jungle a thing or two about good behavior.
Sarah is strolling through the jungle, singing a happy song, when Lion pounces. How dare she trespass on his turf? He is King of the Jungle--where nobody strolls and sings: They lumber and grunt, sprint and squeak, slither and harrumph! Lion makes an executive decision to eat the little girl for lunch. But Sarah thinks fast: True, she can't wallow like the hippo or wriggle like the snake, but she can draw. She paints a portrait of Lion. "I don't look that grumpy!" he protests. "Yes, you do!" all the animals chorus. Soon Sarah is the jungle's artist-in-residence!
