Rabbit's Snow Dance: A Traditional Iroquois Story

(2) PS Illustrated by Jeff Newman. The Bruchacs retell a pourquoi tale that the elder included in two previous collections (Iroquois Stories and The Boy Who Lived with the Bears). This version differs significantly--unfortunately, there's no source note. Shorter sentences and more patterning and repetition make this a good preschool read-aloud. The watercolor, gouache, and ink illustrations' classic mid-twentieth-century style echoes Simont, Hurd, and Weisgard.
