(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Pohrt. The seven Algonquian trickster stories in this collection, printed in large type with generous leading, are funny and are related in a lively, understated manner, perfect for storytelling. The illustrations accurately capture the northern pine forest setting from which the stories spring. Along with the introduction, "story notes" at the end of the book offer detailed documentation.
