Wonderful stories by Indigenous Peoples

The special relationship people share with dogs (and vice-versa) are wonderfully captured in this collection of Abenaki stories. Written, it seems, from an oral tradition the sentence construction has a rhythm that feels both unfamiliar and soothing in English. The stories themselves are touching: tales of how the dogs chose to be with human beings, how dogs defend us and save us in times of need, and how important the relationship between dog and man is. Its a great book for young children age 5 - 8. Recommended.
