Rabbit's Song
Rabbit's Songis an imaginative children's book written in the style of a folktale...Vivid color illustrations (of a bright green rabbit, a red coyote, and their brown and deep blue avian friends) help draw young readers into this adventurous, magical fable. --Midwest Book ReviewStories of the Trickster -- that archetype of backwards teaching -- are some of the worlds' most enduring tales. With Rabbit's Song S.J. Tucker and Trudy Herring have given us a new chapter in his saga.Trickster, who has purple-blue hair -- is looking for an animal to teach man, but he's having a very hard time. Many animals are too scary, others are limited (like owls, who can only see at night). He eventually finds four: Raven, Rabbit, Crow, and Coyote who he sets specific tasks suitable for their natures to help man.The watercolor illustrations are typically wonderful W. Lyon Martin, complete with multiple ethnicities and in spite of the text's insistence on 'man' there are women in the pictures as well. --Lisa McSherry; Facing North Review
