Coyote: A Trickster Tale from the American Southwest

Wherever Coyote goes you can be sure he’ll find trouble. Now he wants to sing, dance, and fly like the crows, so he begs them to teach him how. The crows agree but soon tire of Coyote’s bragging and boasting. They decide to teach the great trickster a lesson. This time, Coyote has found real trouble! “Kids will love the action and the brilliantly colored art.”—Sesame Street Parents “A splendid tale, perfectly paced for an amusing read-aloud.”—Publishers Weekly “This is great for story-telling: kids will love the slapstick action and the bright, comic art.”—Booklist “Lively, visually splendid, and sure to appeal.”—Kirkus Review GERALD MCDERMOTT (1941-2012) was an internationally acclaimed author-illustrator and the creator of numerous award-winning books and animated films for children.
