Lea is a lively and curious lion cub. One day she sets off exploring on her own. She pokes her nose into a termite hill, chases a shy porcupine, encounters a rude hyena, and is pushed out of her water hole by a rhinoceros. Frightened, Lea runs to her father. ""A lion is never afraid,"" he tells her. ""Running away is cowardly. Lions are brave."" But that night, when they hear a thundering noise in the distance, it is Father Lion himself who seems afraid! Beginning readers learn an important lesson about the difference between cowardice and caution.
