An appealing collection of Native American tales for independent reading or for reading aloud. -- BL. 1994. This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you like Brer Rabbit tales, you'll like these Tricky rabbit tales from Native Americans. One or two are similar to African-American Brer rabbit tales, some of which apparently were told in some Native American communities. For instance, there is a tar wolf instead of a tar baby in a similar "you can do whatever you want, but don't throw me in the briar patch" story. Each tale is followed by a short historic background description- who told it, and which tribes it originated from. My seven year old enjoyed the stories a lot, so they do have pure entertainment value.
