Chukfi Rabbit's Big, Bad Bellyache: A Trickster Tale

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leslie Stall Widender. When Ms. Shukata Possum needs a new house, her animal friends pitch in in exchange for a meal afterward. Lazy Chukfi Rabbit feigns illness and secretly hoovers the meal's homemade butter until he's really sick. Readers will enjoy following Chukfi's attempt to evade detection. The illustrations finesse the humor in this Choctaw trickster tale, which is told with confiding informality.
