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.Binding Type: HardcoverPublisher: Houghton MifflinPublished: 09/01/2004ISBN: 9780152046682Pages: 48Weight: 1.10lbsSize: 10.10h x 10.20w x 0.50dAward: North Carolina Children's Book Award - NomineeAward: Golden Sower Award - Honor BookAward: Grand Canyon Reader Award - WinnerAward: Colorado Children's Book Award - NomineeAward: Buckaroo Book Award - Third PlaceAward: Arkansas Diamond Primary Book Award - NomineeReview Citations: Kirkus Review - Children 08/01/2004 pg. 738Publishers Weekly 08/02/2004 pg. 69Horn Book Magazine 09/01/2004 pg. 565Booklist 09/01/2004 pg. 129School Library Journal 10/01/2004 pg. 110Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2005 pg. 26 - Recommended, SatisfactoryAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 78828 / PinduliReading Level: 3.6 / Interest Level: Lower Grade / Point Value: 0.5
