Brave Bear and the ghosts A Sioux legend

Gr 2-4‘Solid additions to the series, these delightful stories are adapted from three tribes. A ghostly trickster tale from the Sioux concludes with an unexpected, funny twist. In a Pomo legend, Coyote saves his tribe from a grasshopper plague, drought, and famine. A pourquoi tale from the Woodlands Iroquois explains why the aptly named hermit thrush has the loveliest song among birds. An informational section of tribal facts, history, and culture, as well as maps, black-and-white and full-color photos, and a glossary follows each legend. The bibliographies include a mix of children's and adult titles. Bright, intense watercolors continue the signature look of this series. Worthwhile purchases.‘Jacqueline Elsner, Athens Regional Library, GA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
