Cannon (Stellaluna) applies her familiar formula to the animals of the African savanna in this rambling tale of a striped hyena who learns about how cruel insults can be. Once again, Cannon combines an anthropomorphic story with factual endnotes about the wildlife, and the engaging artwork succeeds in making an unappealing creature sympathetic. The illustrations mix Audubon verisimilitude with Disney-like sentimentality. When Dog, Lion and Zebra insult young Pinduli, her ears droop as if she...

A funny, decidedly offbeat picture book, Verdi is about a young python who wants to remain quick and bright yellow his whole life. Who'd want to be big, green, slow and boring like the adult snakes? His refusal to grow up leads to some foolish behavior that nearly kills him; "neatly splinted to a branch" by his elders, he learns to appreciate the natural way of things while maintaining his youthful spirit. Kids will identify with Verdi's dealings with the bigger snakes; these "grownups" are too busy...

Pinduli's mama has always told her that she's the most beautiful hyena ever. But Dog, Lion, and Zebra don't think so. Why else would they make her feel so rotten about her big ears, her fuzzy mane, and her wiggly stripes? Poor Pinduli just wants to disappear--and she tries everything she can think of to make that happen. Yet "nothing goes her way. Nothing, that is, until a case of mistaken identity lets her show the creatures of the African savanna how a few tiny words--bad or good--can create something...

It seems to be a grest story, besides, my 5-y.o. daughter is fascinated with bats. She listened to the story with interest, but never asked for it again. Sometimes, I pull it out and we read it again, but it is not one of her favorites. The book features some really nice artwork.

Stellaluna
Knocked from her mother's safe embrace by an attacking owl, Stellaluna lands headfirst in a bird's nest. This adorable baby fruit bat's world is literally turned upside down when she is adopted by the occupants of the nest and adapts to their peculiar bird habits. Two pages of notes at the end of the story provide factual information about bats. "Delightful and informative but never didactic; a splendid debut."--Kirkus Reviews
