"Photography accompanies . . . information about the fighting abilities of lions and hyenas. The combination of high-interest subject matter and light text is intended for students in grades 3 through 7"--Provided by publisher"--Provided by publisher.

Pinduli, a young striped hyena, is hurt by the unkind words of Dog, Lion, and Zebra, but her clever trick in return promotes her clan's survival and spreads harmony throughout the savannah. Includes backmatter notes about hyenas and other animals of the African savannah.

Describes the features, behaviors, and adaptations that make hyenas skilled predators.

Ernest Hemingway once claimed the hyena is a "sad yowler, camp-follower, stinking, foul, with jaws that crack the bones the lion leaves, belly dragging loping away on the brown plain ..." Many years later, in the movie The Lion King, Whoopi Goldberg famously voiced the skulking, sulking, hysterically giggling hyena that further cemented the general distaste toward these seemingly cowardly scavengers. But don't let hyenas' bad reputation fool you....

"Young Henry Hyena loves to join his fellow hyenas in poking fun at animals at the zoo. But the jokes aren't making Henry laugh anymore, [and] with the help of a wise old giraffe, Henry gets his laugh back in an unexpected way"--

The Bolds, a family of hyenas who have gone undercover as humans, shock their neighbors with their actions--Mr. Bold scavenges in neighbors' garbage, Mrs. Bold makes hats from egg boxes and chicken bones, Bobby always is chewing on table legs, and Betty chases her brother while he is doing so and laughs with a cackle. Of course, no family is ordinary, but their neighbors don't seem to pick up on the ruse.
