Description
On the African savanna, a young lion cub named Kito spends a day and night trying to emulate his father, the king of the pride. Throughout the story, Kito imitates his papa's behaviors, including roaring, swinging his tail, shaking his head, and pouncing. Although he is too little to catch a wildebeest like his father, Kito succeeds in catching his own prey. The story follows Kito as he learns that someday he will be king, just like his papa.
