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.
