Two Tusk the warthog and Huang and Zhi the rabbits were the best of friends. While playing together one day, Zhi tripped and bumped into Four Tooth the hyena who immediately swallowed him whole! What can Two Tusk and Huang do to save Zhi? Based on the Chinese idiom, 守株待兔 (shou zhu dai tu), which teaches that that one should not wait idly for opportunities to come, but rather put in consistent effort and hard work to build a good future, The Lazy Hyena demonstrates the importance of perseverance and loyalty through the endearing characters, creative illustrations and humourous narrative. It is a book that will captivate readers of all ages.
