An introduction to the commonly misunderstood hyena, a somewhat dog-like relative of the civet and the mongoose which has undeservedly become one of the most hated creatures in Africa.
When Hyena puts a banana skin in Giraffe's path, causing a chain reaction of accidents that Hyena finds hilarious, he soon learns what it is like to be the butt of a joke.
Spotted hyenas get the giggles after a successful hunt. They laugh loudly to welcome other hyenas to come and feast on the kill. This book introduces children to hyenas animated hunters and scavengers.
