Click here for our low price guarantee Binding Type: Hardcover - See All Available Formats & Editions Published: September 2004 Annotation: 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 enormous. Janell Cannon, the creator of the bestselling "Stellaluna," introduces yet another endearing character in this triumphant story about self-image, self-acceptance, and treating others with respect. "" "Includes notes about hyenas and other animals of the African savanna." |
