A cute book regarding turning the tide on the other and getting even. In Africa, two animals work together with end end result of sharing the reward. The Honeyguide and the Honey badger are partners. Usually, the honeyguide finds the honeycomb and the honey badger, with long claws, cracks open the honeycomb and both share the reward.

Until, one day, greedy, hungry honey badger selfishly eats all the honey. Honeyguide is not happy and decides to lead a chase to what the badger thinks is his share.

However, on his tail was a huge lion. Badger ran as fast as possible, missing the lion's claws by mere inches. ( )

This story is about two animals. One the find the honey, and one that breaks open the hives so both of the animals can eat. One day, the animal that breaks open the hives decided that he was not going to share the honey. The next day, other animal decided that she was going to get revenge. I would probably use this book in my classroom as a read aloud before lunch or at the end of the day to wind down. It is a cute story and Jan Brett is one of my favorite authors.
