Quick Summary

This book puts kids face-to-face with one of Africa's most misunderstood animals, letting a hyena introduce itself in a way that feels like making A New Generation of Warriors: The History of Mixed Martial Arts, surprisingly lovable friend. Young readers will flip over the up-close photos showing hyenas' goofy smiles and powerful builds, plus learning wild facts like their famous "laugh" and how females run the show in their clans. If your kid loves silly, surprising animal books like "The Elephant & Piggie" series or National Geographic's easy readers, they'll totally dig this one. Perfect for kindergarten through second graders just starting to read on their own.
