That’s Not Funny! by Jeanne Willis and Adrian Reynolds is a story about a hyena who thinks it would be funny to play a joke on Giraffe. He decides to put a banana peel on Giraffe’s path. Giraffe ends up slipping, and running straight into a tree. Of course, Giraffe doesn’t find that funny at all. Hyena just laughs and laughs. When Giraffe ran into the tree, a coconut fell, and it hit Hippo right on the head. Hyena again finds this extremely funny, but, of course, Hippo is not amused. Because of Hyena’s joke, there is a crazy chain of events that occur, and only Hyena finds them funny. There is actually a moral to the story, and in the end Hyena finds out that it is not a good idea to laugh at others’ misfortunes. It’s a cute story with a good message.
