Booklist - 08/08/2023 When it comes time for Papa Lion to let his little lion catch a gazelle on his own, the little lion makes one mistake after another. His first is thinking that catching a gazelle will be easy. When he tries and fails, the little lion thinks that all he has to do is be faster. When that fails, he tries one idea after another, only to fail each time. He even asks for advice from his elephant auntie, who tells him to ask the gazelle nicely if he can catch her. Nothing works, and the other gazelles make fun of him. The task seems impossible, so the little lion disappears. When the gazelle goes looking for him, she makes the biggest mistake of all. In a gratifying twist, no one is harmed in the end, but the clear message of learning from one's mistakes comes through loud and clear. Pintonato’s minimal text is cheerfully complemented by silly and playful thick-lined artwork, which contains the bold, bright colors of the savanna. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
