During a drought, Ji-Stu, the rabbit trickster, is discovered to be stealing water from the well he refused to help dig. The other animals set a sticky trap for the lazy trickster in the form of a wolf made of pine pitch. This well-told Cherokee tar baby story is paired with pleasing white-outlined earth-tone illustrations.
