A Coyote Columbus Story

(3) K-3 Illustrated by William Kent Monkman. First published in 1992 in Canada, this free-spirited Coyote story is a kind of meta-trickster tale, with Coyote fooling the moose and beavers, then the local human beings, then...Christopher Columbus and Jacques Cartier. Recklessly anachronistic in its mixture of traditional tale, contemporary references, and political point making, with burlesquing illustrations to match, this sly tale will find a small but appreciative audience.
