The lion walks alone in the forest until he comes across a lonely hippo. The two become friends continuing the journey as new animals like a giraffe, elephant, toucan, zebra, and monkey eventually join in the fun. Each of the animals brings a new character trait or talent like humor, brains, loyalty, and generosity to the group. Each of the animals brings out the best in one another.
While the illustrations are simple and rather stylized, the rhymes are crisp and sharp. Counting skills are reinforced as each new animal is introduced. I would recommend this book as a bedtime story or fun read-aloud for children ages two through five.

There was once a lion who walked alone.
1-day I met hippo by the river bend. He was looking for a friend also.
We became good friends & met giraffe.
Next the 3 of us made friends with a large gray elephant.
A black toucan was flying by & joined out group.
What animals joined their group next?

An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. A very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) rhyming storybook. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s movie, educational presentation (diversity, unusual friendships, fun/happy times), an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

This is a sweet delightful rhyming bedtime or anytime story about a crew of animals meeting and getting to know each other. They are getting to know each other for the next book adventure and the next and the next. It shows how different they are but how they can get along and become friends.
Animals thought the lion was mean and cruel with big sharp teeth. His teeth were big and sharp to chew his food, just like you. He met a sad and lonely hippo on the road. He had big eyed and pink skin and was fat, though he would never tell him that. "Then I wondered what's wrong with that! ". They came across a giraffe. "You won't find a wiser animal than me." If there is a problem the giraffe doesn't quit. They meet more animals along the way. " We are all different yet we are the same because great friends are what we became. " Keep reading/listening because such fun you will have.
The website for the free book does not work. How sad. I borrowed this book on a Kindle Unlimited website and so can you.

I Enjoyed the lesson taught
This was great. I enjoyed reading it to my grand daughter today. I like how it was teaching her about being different and they could all still be friends. Everyone has something different that they bring to each friendship they make. Not to judge just by appearance, get to know them, you might enjoy their company.

A great moral story
What a fun sweet quick read this was! Perfect for teaching children that it doesn't matter what someone looks like it's who they are that counts, by using animals Emma makes this a read that will entice children to read it and take notice of it. It is very well written in a fun rhyming way with beautiful illustrations!

Absolutely brilliant
I thought this was fantastic and I would definitely highly recommend it. It’s about a lion who goes around making lots of friends with various different animals who then all become part of his ‘jungle crew’. This story has rhyming text and bright, colourful illustrations too that children would really enjoy.

Read this book with my girls. We alk enjoyed it. Basically a lion starts the book out, he lives in a jungle and is sad. He is all alone, he goes for a walk, along the way he meats alk kind if friends he is the only lion. All the animals are different.
The book teaches a lesson of even though we alk different we can be nice and kind to one another and get along.
MAN AMERICA NEEDS THIS RIGHT NOW.

It's a good book about diversity exploring differences in looks, character, emotions and behavior. However, despite these distinct differences, all of the animals could still be friends. This is definitely a book much needed about loving others in our day and age of racial and economic disparity.

A very good book
This a good book about friendship, accepting that everyone is different and unique. Also you learn about some of the animals in the jungle. I like to read this book to my daughter.

Great, Rhythmic Bedtime story
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the story, reading guessing the animals and the qualities of good friends. She was entertained and engrossed in it.

Whimsical and Interesting
A short book about jungle animals and how they joined a friendly group of other animals. This book is teaching kids about interactions with kids who are different than them.
