Summary: My kindergartner loves this book!
Comment: Contrary to a previous review, this book is NOT about a mischievous monkey who is always playing tricks.

It's about Monkey-Monkey, who wants help building a new home -- but when Hyena offers to help, Monkey-Monkey suspects a trick and turns him down. So Hyena dresses up as a Beautiful Creature, and promises to help Monkey-Monkey in exchange for a big pot of stew. When Monkey-Monkey makes the stew, Hyena returns disguised as an Ugly Monster and eats it all up. Then he comes back as a Beautiful Creature, but there is no stew, so he will not help. This happens again, until Monkey-Monkey sees through the trick, and plays a clever trick using a disguise of his own, and wins out over Hyena in the end.

This is a Step 2 reading book, for grades 1 - 3, but the story is written so that even pre-K audiences will immediately know that it is Hyena in disguise. It's a great book for a kindergartner or first grader with good reading skills, and my kindergartner reads it over and over. We finally bought it so the library could have their copy back.
