We’re going on a lion hunt. Time to put on your safari hats, says a teacher before leading her class on an exciting imaginary journey. Off they go! They slosh through mud, splish-splash through rivers, swish through grass, and finally come face to face with a lion! Joe Mathieu brings the lion hunt to life with delightful illustrations rendered in Prisma colors, dyes, pen, and ink that add to this classroom fantasy based on a traditional game.

Teacher and students embark on an imaginary, exciting safari in this adaptation of the familiar bear-hunt chanting game. With safari hats on, the class members heads out the door and into an exotic landscape, where they join in the refrain: "We're going on a lion hunt. / We're going to catch a big one. / We're not afraid. / Look what's up ahead!" First they head through mud, then sticks ("snap, snap, snap"), and on until they reach a dark cave, where they "feel a c-c-cold nose and s-s-sharp teeth . . . It's a lion!" Time to run, backtracking from grass to mud to finally, safely, the classroom. The peppy text incorporates repetition, sound effects, and participation opportunities for lively readings. The bright, cartoonlike watercolor-and-pencil illustrations highlight the diverse animals, first shown as classroom pictures and then in their native habitats.
