The African plains provide a stunning environment for Jan Brett's latest animal adventure. For as long as anyone can remember, the honeyguide bird and the African honey badger have been partners when it comes to honey:Honeyguide finds the honeycomb, Badger breaks it open, and they share the sweetness inside. But this day, Badger keeps all the honey for himself. Foolish Badger! In no time, Honeyguide leads Badger on a fast chase. Badger thinks it's for honey; but Honeyguide has a surprise waiting for her greedy friend. As they swim across a pond, push through a thicket of reeds, leap over a huge anthill, a menagerie of exotic animals passes the news along in a kind of animal Bush Telegraph. Finally Badger faces a lift-the-flap page, revealing the twist that teaches Badger a lesson. Can you guess who's under that flap? Honey . . . Honey . . . Lion! will surely become a family favorite for readers of all ages.

Wonderful book--great choice for "H" Letter of the Week
Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. There are flaps on the pages to lift up, too, as the story progresses. I bought this book to read to my daughter's kindergarten glass for letter "H" week and the kids loved the story and all of the pictures. Excellent book with an excellent lesson.

Great book
This book is used in the Rooted in Reading curriculum from Teachers Pay Teachers, so it was useful to have a physical copy! I also love the message and the author.

anything by Jan Brett is a winner
As always, Jan's illustrations are detailed and beautiful. This is a fun story - with a good lesson on sharing as well.

Wonderful tale
My son's teacher read this book to him, and he loved it so much that I bought it for him. He wants me to read it over and over. Beautiful illustrations and a great lesson in the tale.

Fabulous illustrations & a moral, BUT
not a true representation of the fierceness of a Honey badger (Ratel) in the wild. Even leopards don't mess with them; neither will a lion. Badgers are fierce animals, loyal to their families, and great hunters on their own. Honey is just a treat; a dessert, though it is true a Ratel will work with a Pilot bird to find the honey caches.That said, this story is based on an African tale and teaches a lesson in sharing. Not only is the coloring and look of an African badger correct, the trees, plants, and other animals are, too. (I know having been to Africa)So, as a story, moral tale, and example of elaborate illustrations, this book is quite excellent. It's up there with Wind in the Willows, the Foxwood series, Percy the Parkkeeper stories, and many, many more that feature the badger for a juvenile audience.If you want more accurate information about badgers, there are many other factual books available for children and adults.

Wonderful Book for kids!
My grandson loves this book! He’s a little old for it at 11 years old, but complained loudly when I gave it away, so I ordered another one for him. If you buy it, don’t give it away without permission, LOL!

Beautiful and funny story
My 3 year old LOVES this book. I really love it too (even though I have read it 500x😂)! The illustrations are perfect per Jan Bretts usual style and the story is simple and great.
