Coyote, Iktome, and the Rock: A Sioux Trickster Myth

(3) K-3 Short Tales: Native American Myths series. Illustrated by Estudio Haus. Each of these titles tells one unembroidered, straightforward Native American story about the world's creation or some natural phenomenon, introduced by brief information about the tribe from whence it emanated. There is nothing exceptional about these small-trimmed offerings, though the mythology is nicely distilled for younger children. The color-saturated, active illustrations recall those of graphic novels. Review covers these Native American Myths titles: The Colors of a Sunset, Coyote, Iktome, and the Rock, How the World was Made, and Sky Woman and the Big Turtle.
