Long ago, animals did many of the things that people do:they organized towns, held meetings and dances, and made up games. Every animal had its own place, and each had a special job to do. Rabbit was the messenger; he was swift and sure-footed. But Rabbit was also mischievous, and his cunning ways were always getting him into trouble. In this collection of Cherokee tales, storyteller Gayle Ross and artist Murv Jacob, with a foreword by Chief Wilma Mankiller of the Cherokee Nation, bring together the many sides of Rabbit, the Cherokee Trickster-hero. As with all stories of the oral tradition, the Rabbit stories amuse, entertain, and educate. These stories are published in collaboration with Parobola, The Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition.

Great stories your kids will love!,
By thirtysomething mom from no.cal (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How Rabbit Tricked Otter (Parabola Storytime Series) (Audio Cassette)
After hearing and watching Gayle Ross tell stories during a Native Children's Authors Festival in Northern California, I came across her audio tapes and absoultely love these stories. My daughter liked listening to them on the way to school and during long road trips, and would re-listen to them every few months without tiring of the stories. She even referenced them when telling her own stories! She was around 7 years old at the time we begin listening to them, and she is now almost 11 and just the other day asked me if we still had these stories before we left on a road trip. My only complaint is I wish they were available on CD. Highy recommend and a great intro. to audio books as an alternative to radio and gameboys on car trips, something the whole family can listen to over and over again.
