Deep in the Jungle

"Deep in the Jungle" tells the story of a majestic lion, the undisputed king of his jungle, who is tempted by a lion tamer's offer of fame and fortune in the circus. Eager for a new adventure, he leaves his kingdom, only to find that circus life is restrictive and unfulfilling. He's no longer the king, but merely a performer taking orders. This realization prompts his return to the jungle, a wiser and more appreciative lion. This book is suitable for children aged 4-11, offering a gentle narrative about self-discovery, the value of freedom, and the comforts of home. It's an excellent read-aloud for younger children and a thoughtful independent read for early elementary students.

When a lion tamer offers the king of the jungle a chance to be a circus star, the lion can't resist. But life under the big top is not what he imagined. Instead of becoming famous, the lion is the one taking orders. It isn't long before he's fed up, and returns to the jungle a better lion. Full color.
