Themba and his brother and sister are excited that Aunt Alice is coming to visit them in the village. When they arrive at the station to meet her, the children find her in a tree. She explains that a lion wants to eat her.

Could Aunt Alice be right? The book concludes with factual information on lions, with colour photographs.
