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

From Booklist:
Jeff Newman is the author and illustrator of many books for kids, including Hippo! No, Rhino; The Boys; and Hand Book. He lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with his wife and son.
In the Bruchacs’ take on a traditional Iroquois tale, we meet Rabbit. An impatient fellow (with a long, luxurious tail), Rabbit wants things when he wants them. And right now he wants snow—the fact that it’s summer notwithstanding. Fortunately (for him), Rabbit knows a magical chant that will bring the flakes. And no matter what the other animals think, he persists until finally the snow does fall. And fall, and fall. So much snow comes down that Rabbit has to climb a tree to escape it. But without the chanting, the snow melts, unbeknownst to Rabbit, who is freshly awakened from a nap. When there’s no snow to step on, he falls, his tail gets caught in the branches, he leaves fur along the way, and when he turns around to assess the damage, there’s his cotton tail. The telling is sprightly, and Newman’s ink-and-watercolor artwork, which has the feel of Asian brushwork, makes an ideal companion. An appealing addition to folktale shelves. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ilene Cooper
