Book excerpt: Hi. I’m Cubby the lion. I’m king of the jungle. Well, OK. Right now I’m only a few months old so I guess I’m just a prince. But give me some time. In two more years I’ll be full grown and ready to rule! Here I am hanging around outside the den. That’s my brother on the left. Lion mothers have two to four cubs every other year. Lots of times they just have three. This year my mom just had me and Snot Nose there. That’s not his real name, but that’s what I call him. Little brothers can be such a pain; and he is my LITTLE brother. I was born five whole minutes before he was. Meet Cubby and learn of what life is like for a young lion in Africa. Ages 7 to 10.
