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.
