(3) K-3 Pinduli is a young female hyena whose identifying characteristics bring on rude comments from other East African savanna animals. The story sags under the weight of its message once the animals reveal they made fun of Pinduli because they themselves had been hurt by similar taunts. Still, it's worth making it through to the informative back matter. Cannon's illustrations are both expressive and faithful to nature.
