Be Brave. Make Friends. Join the Lion-Heart League as they go on their first amazing mission--to find a friend for a lonely gorilla. It's a Jungle Out There! tells the story of four lion cubs as they search for the lonely gorilla, deep in the jungle. On the way, they encounter a grumpy leopard and a scary crocodile. They also learn that making new friends can be scary, but it's worth taking the chance. It's worth going out on a limb (even if there's a monkey sitting on the limb). This exciting, colorful adventure also includes a teaching section in the back, where parents and kids can dig deeper and talk about how to make friends. * How do you introduce yourself to others? * What do you say next? * What do you ask? * How do you share your story? We can all use a little help from our friends. So, meet your new friends: Matteo, Zahara, Gabriella, and Ross. They'll show you how to be brave. They'll teach you how to have the heart of a lion.
