Rabbit is very mischievous and clever. But after he steals chili peppers from a farmer one night, he finds himself trapped in a sack, waiting to be thrown into a pot of boiling water for the farmer's meal. Just then, Coyote comes along and asks what Rabbit is doing there. Rabbit tells him that he is waiting to marry the farmer's beautiful daughter and offers for Coyote to take his place. Coyote agrees, and Rabbit escapes. When Coyote figures out that he has been fooled, he runs off to find Rabbit. Again Rabbit tricks Coyote and escapes. Will Coyote ever catch Rabbit?
I would definitely recommend this to any kid who wants to read a good short story. I thought it was a great book, and you will, too.

This is a great book, which introduces children to Spanish without shoving it down their throats. Tony Johnston and Tomi de Paola make a marvelous team. Check out Johnston's "The Iguana Brothers" and "Lorenzo the Naughty Parrot" for more Spanish language treats!
