This is the story (for children 7 y.o. and up) of a forest near the one where Peter had caught his famous wolf. When word arrives in the forest that Peter is on the prowl to catch another wolf, the friendly animals hatch various plots to foil him, with help arriving from the most unlikely source.

“The music of “The Lion that Could not Roar” is beautiful and rich. I enjoyed the subtlety of the narration and the interaction of the two. I also enjoyed how the music seems to convey much of the story and how sort of ‘minimal’ the narration is, allowing for space for the imagination and for possible visual story-telling (such as puppet or toy theater).”
