Bookroo's summary
Henry Hyena, once the zoo's laughter king, suddenly can't find his funny bone. His usual antics with monkeys and hares no longer amuse him. Desperate to rediscover his joy, Henry seeks the wisdom of Dr. Long, a sage giraffe. Will this unexpected encounter unlock the secret to laughter and happiness? Join Henry on a heartwarming journey to reclaim his giggles and discover the surprising solution that awaits.
From the publisher
When a hyena can’t find his funny, a friend offers a sweetly surprising solution in this adorable picture book, winner of the General Mills Spoonful of Stories contest. Henry Hyena is feeling blue. He usually chuckles at monkeys swinging from trees, giggles as he chases hares, and belly laughs when he hears an elephant burp. But one day at the zoo, Henry can’t even muster up a smile. Will a visit with a wise old giraffe, Dr. Long, help Henry find the key to laughing harder than ever?
