About this title

From School Library Journal:

In a retelling so vivid it demands to be read aloud, Goble offers another humorous story about the Plains Indian trickster, Iktomi. In this tale, Iktomi fools unfortunate ducks into becoming his meal, but is himself tricked by a coyote. As with the other Iktomi stories, the printed story is creatively designed on the page: bold-face lettering for the story line, gray italics for asides that can be read to the audience, and small type for droll comments to be read optionally to a large group. The effect in words and pictures is lively. Stylized illustrations make bold use of color and shape. Children will enjoy the trickster plot, but adults will appreciate the wry Goble touches, as on the title page where Iktomi says: "There goes that white guy, Paul Goble, telling another story about me . . . My attorney will Sioux." --Lee Bock Pulaski, Brown County Public Libraries, Green Bay, WI
