African-American Folktales Starring Bruh Rabbit!

This is a collection of folk tales by Alice McGill who heard them when she was growing up in North Carolina. She explains how the storyteller would tell the tale verbally in a combination of dramatic speech and singing. The group listening would also contribute and sing along themselves. The tales are mainly of the "trickster" format where Bruh Rabbit would set out to trick someone else or they would trick him. Some involve other characters in the same format. Good book for listening comprehension exercises, teaching culture and reading folk tales.

2006-07 TX Bluebonnet Award Nominee

"Drawing on her North Carolina heritage, storyteller McGill retells five Bruh Rabbit tales, including the well-known "Please Don't Fling Me in the Briar Patch" and less familiar selections such as "Looking to Get Married." Brief introductions and notes accompany each story." (summary by Texas Library Association)
