Shawn lives in the dense shrubs surrounding the wide open plains of South Africa. His best friend is a lion named Benz. Shawn and Benz spend their days in search of fun and adventure. One day, they hear a roar so loud, they decide they must find out where it's coming from! When they find the source, it turns out to be from Benz' mate, and she is in trouble. Shawn uses all of his strength to help her only to find more trouble waiting ahead! (This is the storybook which accompanies "Shawn and the Lion's Roar" full version, which includes a search and find section, information about the savannah animals in the story portion of the book, and the answer keys.)
