Bearhide and Crow

(4) K-3 Amos Dyer, "a swapping fool," gets tricked by Sam Hankins into trading one of his wife's prized gourds for a filthy bear hide. Amos learns about some hidden gold and uses this information to conduct the mother of all swaps, with Amos getting the gold and Sam ending up with the bear hide again. Johnson's tale, though too easily resolved, is fast paced and imaginative, and his textured, pastel-colored illustrations add to the folksy mood.
