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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Printed in color, the action words are set apart from the black text, which is placed within the double-page illustrations. Mathieu’s colored-pencil and watercolor artwork bounces off the spreads. He gives the characters individual facial expressions, which convey their changing moods.” ―School Library Journal

“An entertaining version of a ubiquitous imagination game for storytimes and animal-themed class units.” ―Booklist

“...the classroom setting this outing offers make it a terrific invitation for young readers to take “Lion Hunt” out of the story circle for some happy dramatic play.” ―Kirkus Reviews

What a fun game to play with the kids while babysitting!

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019

I bought this story to remind myself of the game that I, as a teenager, played with the children I babysat. I remembered some of it, but this was a good tool for remembering the whole story/game. When I get to meet my great grand children, I can now play this game with them. Thank You

This is a story that I didn't hear until high school (we went through the motions as an ice breaker at the time). So many older kids still loved it at the time, so I ordered it for my nephews on the Kindle a few years later. Ranging in ages from four to nine, all three of them love the repetition, the story, and the motions we all do together. The youngest one demands to see all of the illustrations as I read. Great story for the price, and, despite the repetition, this one doesn't sicken me as much as other books when I'm asked to read it five times in a row by the munchkins.

Great Book!

Our little almost-three-year-old grandson loves wild animals and reading - so this delightful book is perfect! As a former first grade teacher, I was looking for a version of this story that had the cute, repetitive verse as well as illustrations that would keep our little guy entranced. This book has both! He has the repetitive verse learned already and will often join in on the "reading" of each page. The pictures on each page are SO CUTE! Even I enjoy looking at them! We often "splish-splash" through the river, "snap-snap" through the sticks, "swish-swish" through the grass - right in the comfort of our own living room! However, our FAVORITE page is when the children and their teacher go into the dark cave. OOOO-OOOO!

My sons favorite book is “We’re going on a bear hunt”. I thought he may like this one just as much. I liked it, but not as much as the bear one.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought "We're going on a lion hunt" for my granddaughter on the train as her favourite book is "going on a bear hunt" but I shouldn't have bothered as it took less than three minutes to read, the layout being exactly the same as bear hunt but the artwork was poor standard. I should add that we read it on I pad and not kindle.

I also thought at the time that £3.50 for children's kindle book was a bit steep but with the quality being so poor, thought it was not worth the money at all.

I do not like leaving bad reviews but I don't want people to waste their money.
