But Leo's mother knows he will roar when he's ready. On the following pages, Leo gets his family out of trouble with his listening skills, helping them evade human hunters and hungry hyenas. But despite Leo's heroics, when it's time for the lions' roaring competition, his father is angry that the cub won't participate. Ashamed, Leo runs to the top of a hill, where he hears a forest fire. He knows the only way he can warn his family is to finally roar. Leo again saves the day, but even though he has loudly roared, he returns to his quiet, listening self. Written by
