Turtle's Race with Beaver: A Traditional Seneca Story

32 pp. | Dial | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2852-2 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jose Aruego & Ariane Dewey. When Beaver builds a dam in Turtle's perfectly shallow pond one winter, the pond is drastically deepened come spring. Beaver challenges Turtle to a race for ownership, but clever Turtle outwits Beaver and wins. Beaver is changed for the better, as well, and both agree to share the pond. This sprightly retelling is enhanced by Aruego and Dewey's characteristically winsome art.
