(3) K-3 Grandmother Stories series. Illustrated by Murv Jacob. This familiar Cherokee tale is retold by a Cherokee historian and illustrated with distinctive illustrations. The folkloric art uses patterned borders and animals in traditional costume to convey the spirit and origins of the tale. In the story, the animals challenge the birds to a game of stickball but lose thanks to the clever playing of the bat and the flying squirrel. A source note is not included.
