Book Overview
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.

Delightful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Yet another delightful and beautiful Jan Brett book. Every classroom that I have shared this book with loves it(PK THRU Second). Very easy to move to a disscussion about sharing and doing the right thing. Not to mention how fasinated with the illustrations each child is. If you like Jan Brett's style, this is another must have for your collection.
A VERY NICE WORK. A FAVORITE OF MINE.

Not only do I enjoy the story this book offers, I do feel it is one of the best illustrated works out today. The accuracy of the drawings, the details and the general flow are a wonder to the eye. Each time you read this one, you spot something new. Of course the moral of the tale is great as most fold stories are and the author well makes his point. This is one of those books that is a lot of fun to read to your child or to a group of children, discussing the situatuion and discussing the illustrations. As to the fact that the honey badger may not have acted as true to his or her form in the wild, for goodness sakes folks, these creatures, badgers, birds and all don't talk either! This is a story, a delightful story, take it as such. Overall, recommend this one highly.

This book is a lot of fun. It teaches a moral about sharing, it introduces some animals that younger children may not know, tells an exciting story, and has amazingly beautiful illustrations. My son enjoyed it almost as much as I did. I highly recommend finding this one.
A Really Good Book

The book takes place in Africa. It is a great book because the Honey Guide tricks the badger. The illustrations are beautiful and nice. We like the pictures of the African animals. We also like the clues that Jan Brett gave us on the sides. Kindergarten Class New Hampshire Estates, Silver Spring, MD
what a lovely book!

Honey...Honey...Lion is this year's perfect book for young animal and nature lovers. Although the animals' interactions are not, of course, accurate, the background habitat is immediately recognizable to those who love this part of Africa. Needless to say, the illustrations are beautifully drawn by the amazing Ms. Brett. The book slowly presents the story, the surroundings, and pictures of the animals involved, then reinforces this new knowledge in reverse order. The names of each animal are then given on a last summary page. The manner of presentation will make the information highly accessible to children of this age, and the story line will appeal to their strong interest in fairness.
