The Incredible Adventures of Casper the Cat Who Got Lost in Africa: Book 5: The Lions

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.


Casper meets a lion. The lion growls. Casper faints. This could be a difficult friendship.


Book 5: The Lions


Heading east through the bush, Casper ducks beneath a low branch and comes nose to nose with a magnificent mane. Meeting Hasani and Harry is enough to unsettle any city cat—but these two lions have heard some rather extraordinary stories about her, too.


As rumours grow wilder, Casper discovers how easily a story can outrun the truth. Then news arrives of hunters camped beside the river, and the danger becomes very real.


Helping the lion families will mean trusting creatures Casper would usually avoid: a spider, scorpions and a cloud of tiny golden wings. Can the smallest animals make the biggest difference?


A spirited mix of comedy and suspense about questioning rumours, overcoming prejudice and working together to protect wildlife.


An adventure to share and listen to together


For children aged 5–10, these stories are made for listening together, at bedtime, on car journeys or anywhere in between. Share Casper’s mishaps, worry with her when things go wrong, and cheer her on as she finds her courage. There is room for laughter, a few tears and the kind of conversation that continues after the story ends.
