'Chubby Roars the Loudest Roar' is the first story in the African Tales series. The story is about a bright little lion cub called Chubby who instead of practicing his roar like he should, prefers to go wandering off discovering the far more interesting things that other animals get up to, causing his parents no end of annoyance. In the end Chubby, with the help of his Hippo friend, Mafuta, surprises everyone. A delightful children's tale full of expressive sounds to act out and play along to. The story is accompanied by beauitfully colourful illustrations by Ilona Suschitzky
