Coyote and Badger: Desert Hunters of the Southwest

(4) 1-3 Set in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, this fictionalized account concerns an actual hunting partnership that occasionally occurs between a coyote and a badger. Motivated by hunger, the two animals join forces to hunt prairie dogs and other small animals, as Anasazi lore also records. Realistic details support this clean narration, as does the artwork. The ending peters out, though, and as a whole this lacks the tension of a story.
