Everyone knows there are no lions in the forests of South America . . . or are there?

Toucan heard it first. It was deep. It was growly. It was a deep, growly growl. And that can mean only one thing: THERE'S A LION IN THE FOREST!

But how can that be? Everyone knows that lions don't live in tropical forests. But the growls keep coming―and now even Capybara and Coati are anxious, especially when they get a glimpse through the trees of a long, terrifying tail and a thick, menacing mane . . .

With a rhythmic text that begs to be read aloud, Mônica Carnesi's clever tale illustrates the importance of not rushing to conclusions. Young readers will get a kick out of sleuthing along with the forest animals as they try to get to the bottom of this sweetly suspenseful mystery.

每个人都知道南美洲的森林里没有狮子……或者是有的？

犀鸟首先听到了它的声音。那个声音很低沉地在咆哮着。那是一种低沉的咆哮声。这只能说明一件事：森林里有一只狮子！

但这怎么可能呢？每个人都知道狮子并不生活在热带森林里。但咆哮声不断传来，现在连水豚和长鼻浣熊都焦虑了起来，特别是当他们透过树丛瞥见一条长长的、可怕的尾巴和浓密的、来势汹汹的鬃毛时……

莫妮卡·卡内西（Mônica Carnesi）的故事很巧妙，节奏鲜明，很适合朗读，讲述了不要急于下结论的重要性。小读者们将会从与森林动物们的侦查中得到乐趣，因为他们试图弄清这个有趣的悬疑之谜。
