How Chipmunk Got His Stripes: A Tale of Bragging and Teasing

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jose Aruego & Ariane Dewey. Bear brags that he can do anything, so Brown Squirrel dares him to keep the sun from rising. When Bear fails, Brown Squirrel teases him and gets scratched down his back. Expressive illustrations in bright autumn colors bring out Bear's anger and Brown Squirrel's sauciness. This Native American tale is great for storytelling. Source notes are included in an authors' note.
