Rabbit and the Moon

33 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80769-4
(3) K-3 This Cree Indian legend explains why it looks like there is a rabbit in the moon, and how the crane came to have long legs and a red crown. Wood's retelling is simple and captivating, and a brief author's note lists the source for the story. Though Rabbit's appearance is somewhat inconsistent, Baker's watercolors are otherwise appealing, ranging from soft and dreamy to bold and striking.
