Pa Lion is sure everyone can see why he is King of the Jungle: he is the best. But when Ma Lion asks what he is best at, Pa Lion has to prove it.
Running? Cheetah is faster. Climbing? Monkey is better. Creeping? Snake has that covered. Crashing through the forest? Elephant makes a much bigger crash. One by one, the jungle animals try not to laugh as Pa Lion becomes crosser and crosser. After all, nobody laughs at a lion.
This lively animal story uses humor and repetition to explore pride, frustration, and finding your own special strength. It is a good fit for developing readers who enjoy expressive jungle characters and funny read-aloud moments.
