    About this ebook

      This comes from a solid series called Animal Safari that's designed for the earliest emerging readers. Quite frankly, a series on wild animals for emerging readers is just about the best thing that I could add to my shelves. This, books about pets, and books about characters from their favorite TV shows and movies are the only requests I get. I have to introduce every other part of the library to them. So when I can add more than a dozen different titles that are age-appropriate and text-apporpriate, I jump at it.

      I wasn't crazy about the subject matter of this book, mostly because hyenas are among the more intimidating land creatures on our planet. Never mind a big cat or some other large predator. Hyenas are tough, smart, relentless, and resourceful. This book demonstrated all of that. The book was good. I'm just not that crazy about hyenas. Maybe it's the laugh.
