Raccoon's Last Race: A Traditional Abenaki Story

32 pp. | Dial | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2977-4 $15.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jose Aruego & Ariane Dewey. With his long legs and strong, sleek frame, Azban the raccoon wins every race against the other animals, and he teases them. But the cocky raccoon clearly needs a lesson in the laws of physics when he challenges an old boulder to a downhill race. This pourquoi tale is alive with sound, and the illustrations humorously convey the animals' irritation and Azban's arrogance.
