What is Brave lion, scared lion about?
Jake is a lion cub who thinks he is fearless. He loves showing off and taking risks, while his twin brother Jasper is nervous and easily frightened. When the cubs sneak down to the river, they discover that Jake’s daring games have led them into serious danger. With crocodiles nearby and Jake unable to escape, Jasper must overcome his fear and find the courage to help his brother. This exciting story shows that true bravery is not about showing off.
