How Chipmunk Got His Stripes (Picture Puffin Books) Paperback – Picture Book, April 14, 2003

The telling of the legend and picture s were awesome

Cute story and illustrations, bought two other books about chipmunks and plush chipmunk. Grandchild often sees chipmunks in back yard

This is an excellent book to help children see the affects of bragging and teasing. The pictures are engaging for young children up to ages 10 years old. My teenage grandson looked over my shoulder as I read it to his younger siblings. He found the story line amusing and thought provoking as well.

Fun book to read with lessons learned

I ordered this book to use with my younger Girl Scouts, as it fit into the program we are using. Not only did they love the story, but I now have a great resource for future use.

A wonderful Native American story. My kindergarten class was spellbound.

Kindergarten children LOVED this story. We made brown chipmunks and added white q-tip painted strips after listening to it.

Joseph Bruchac retells a tradional Mohawk folktale, with a snappy rhythmic cadence and building to a satisfying climax. In the story, Bear is caught out for boasting when he claims he can keep the sun from coming up and is proven wrong. But a brash young squirrel finds himself in trouble when (against his wise grandmother's advice) he begins to tease the humiliated bear.This entertaining story, full of action and humor, underscores the importance of both humility and being sensitive to others' feelings. Aruego's and Dewey's illustrations augment the story with cheerful representations that are pleasant, but not amazing. It may be best appreciated by a preschool and younger elementary-school audience.

Arrived quickly, and exactly as expected. Happy to receive it, great condition
