Rabbit’s Snow Dance Master storytellers Joseph and James Bruchac
present a hip and funny take on an Iroquois folktale about the
importance of patience, the seasons, and listening to your friends.
Pair it with other stories about stubborn animals like Karma
Wilson’s Bear Wants More and Verna Aardema’s Why Mosquitoes Buzz
in People's Ears. Rabbit loves the winter. He knows a dance, using
an Iroquois drum and song, to make it snow—even in summertime! When
rabbit decides that it should snow early, he starts his dance and the
snow begins to fall. The other forest animals are not happy and ask
him to stop, but Rabbit doesn’t listen. How much snow is too much,
and will Rabbit know when to stop? The father-son duo behind How
Chipmunk Got His Stripes, Raccoon’s Last Race, and Turtle’s Race
with Beaver present their latest retelling of Native American
folklore. “The telling is sprightly, and Newman's
ink-and-watercolor artwork makes an ideal companion. An appealing
addition to folktale shelves.” —Booklist “This modern retelling
maintains [the Bruchacs’] solid reputation for keeping Native
American tales fresh.” —School Library Journal “The picturesque
language makes it a pleasure to read aloud.”—BCCB
