Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books. A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reading together. A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey. Shumba is the naughtiest lion cub in the whole of Africa. When he sneaks off one night to go exploring, he finds himself on a boat going all the way to England with gorillas, snakes, monkeys, zebras and parrots. And that's just the start of his adventure! A heartwarming Early Reader story from the author of the White Giraffe quartet, which brings Africa and its animals to life for the youngest readers.

I enjoyed it when the animals were a little naughty when they were in the town after they swam from the boat.

I thought that this book was very nice and it taught you that if you’re an animal you could just get lost and go to a completely different side of the world and get even more lost. I gave this book a 4 out of 5 because I found it easy to read. I think that my favourite characters were Shumba and Emma because Emma is very kind and shumba is brave and the main character. I would recommend this book to one of my friends at school because she really likes animals.

When Shumba, the lion cub goes exploring he finds himself on a boat filled with gorillas, snakes, monkeys, zebras and parrots. And that’s just the start of his adventures.
