Coyote Steals The Blanket
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
A greedy coyote thinks that he owns everything. One day he comes across these beautiful blankets but before a little bird had warned him not to talk them, but the greedy coyote took them anyway. The rock chased him all over and there was no way that he could stop it, unless he returned the blanket. I like this book because it teaches a wonderful lesson that I believe all children should learn, that you should not take what is not yours. I think the author did a great job getting that lesson across in a simple enough fashion that young children can understand.
excellent book for children

I bought this book in a local bookstore out of curiosity. My 5yr old loved it. It's humorous and the ending caught us by surprise. This story also gives children the opportunity to participate (when the rocks "rumble" after coyote).I'd recommend it for kids up to age 10. My reason for not rating it 5stars is this: There isn't any info. included on the writer. As a Kiowa-Chickasaw woman, I always like to know who is writing the books under AmerInd. subject matter and their background/experience. I bought the soft cover. Maybe the jacket on the hardcover has this info.
Unrepentant Coyote strikes again!

Okay, I'm not an expert on Native American tales, so I can't tell you how close this story comes to the "original". What I can say is that I kind of liked Coyote. He sort of reminded me of a ten year old boy. He steals a blanket and gets chased around the desert. At first, he asks for help from all of his friends. But not even his friends can help himut of this mess! Finally, he's forced to gives it back. But does he learn his lesson? No! The illustrations are excellent, with the eye for detail that is the hallmark of Janet Stevens. This was a good "mulit cultural" tool .
