About this ebook
This charming version of a well-known chant takes place on the African savanna
In this beautifully illustrated rendition of a well-known children's chant, two sisters are looking not for a bear but for a lion—a lion that lives on the African savanna, where the girls go through swishy-swashy long grass, a splishy-splashy lake, and a Big Dark Cave. When they finally meet their lion, they have to run, run, run through it all again to get back home.
Young readers will enjoy the playful language and beautiful paintings that reset a familiar story in a far-off part of the world.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a take off of the book "we're going on a bear hunt." This is a cute and fun book for younger students. It teaches them about sequencing and it has several onamonapia, which is words that imitates sounds.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This story is a great story for a read aloud! This story is about two sisters from Africa who go on a lion hunt and look for a lion. The book has fun sounds such as: swoosh, swash, as the girls go through the lake, swamp, and the tall grass. The two sisters must go through different obstacles in order to reach the lion they are going on a hunt for.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The repetition and onomatopoeia make this a good story time book. The reader can ask the audience whether or not they thing the children REALLY saw a lion, and let the children start to talk about imagination versus reality. I also like the portrayal of modern African children.
