I received access to a digital galley of this book through Edelweiss, but actually wound up reading a library copy before I got to reading the galley anyway. ( ) The illustrations can be likened to depictions of Aesop's fables, with a modern feel. I like that the artist paid attention to little details, such as certain animals wearing native Choctaw patterns in their clothes. The story had a fun and lighthearted feel to it, and Chufki Rabbit is definitely a little trickster. It has been modernized for current audiences but I can imagine what the original tale was, and I think Leslie Stall Widener and Greg Rodgers did a great job retelling it. Includes author's note at the end. Summary: Chukfi the rabbit hides and lies his way though helping his neighbor, although he is discovered, he suffers from a horrible belly ache from eating the butter. Personal Reaction: I found this to be slightly offensive. Although the book says it is native american studies, I am not sure how it really fits. The rabbit lied and stole, however the author really doesn't give a clear indication as to which animal is to represent which nationality. Classroom Extension Ideas: 1.Could be used to show children that lies are going to cause problems 2. I would use this if there are issues during group work and showing that those who do not participate can suffer a consequence. My personal response to the book: The book was excellent and I would like one for the elementary library. I may purchase this book on my own so I have it for my Native American unit. Curricular connections: The curricular connections include: animals, science, being a friend, honesty, and being helpful is always more joyful. I would like this book to accompany my Native American unit. When Shukata Possum needs a new house her friends decide to have an everybody-work-together day to build it for her, except for lazy Chukfi Rabbit, who claims he’s too busy that day, but he changes his mind suddenly when he hears there will be a big feed following the work. But when it’s the day to work, and all the other animals are digging and sawing and hammering, Chukfi pretends to be sick and sneaks off to have a little snack, and soon he’s eaten up all the butter for the feast. This traditional tale was found by Choctaw storyteller Rogers in transcripts of oral history interviews in the Oklahoma History Center. With the help of Widener’s illustrations he reintroduces this trickster tale with its moral to twenty-first century readers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
