A rollicking animal-chase fable set on the African plains, with a lift-the-flap surprise, from New York Times bestseller Jan Brett—now in a board book edition!

Honeyguide and Honey Badger have always been partners. When the honeyguide finds honeycomb and the honey badger cracks it open with his strong claws, they share the sweetness. That is how it has always been.

Until one day, greedy Badger gulps down all the honey! Honeyguide is not happy and all of the animals hear about. To be certain this won't happen again, the next day she leads Badger on a rollicking trek, but this time Badger is in for a not-so-sweet surprise!

About the author

Jan Brett

With more than 44 million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation’s foremost illustrators of children’s books.  As a child, she decided to be an illustrator and spent much of her time reading and drawing. As a student at the Boston Museum School, Jan spent many hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. Travel is also a constant inspiration, so with her husband, Joe Hearne, who was a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts.

Praise for Honey... Honey... Lion!

Praise for Honey... Honey... Lion!
 
"The spry narrative incorporates sound effects that make this a natural read-aloud, and the high spot is surely Brett's meticulous renderings of African animals and vegetation, presented against a parchment-like backdrop and framed by striking borders featuring beads and feathers. Readers may well feel as if they, like the author, have visited breathtaking Botswana." —Publishers Weekly

"Brett has created another lush winner with beautifully detailed illustrations of the animals and a clear, fast-paced story. . . . This lovely title works equally well for story hours or for one-on-one sharing." —School Library Journal

"African animals and landscapes take center stage in this lively retelling of a traditional folktale from Botswana. . . . The cumulative patterns, sound effects and suspense, together with the dramatically depicted animals, will make this a popular choice for reading aloud." —Kirkus Reviews
