Winner of the American Indian Library Association Youth Literature Awards, Best Picture Book. Trickster Coyote is having his friends over for a festive solstice get-together in the woods when a little girl comes by unexpectedly. She leads the party-goers through the snowy woods to a shopping mall -- a place they have never seen before. Coyote gleefully shops with abandon, only to discover that fi lling your shopping cart with goodies is not quite the same thing as actually paying for them. The trickster is tricked and goes back to his cabin in the woods -- somewhat subdued -- though nothing can keep Coyote down for long. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS. ELA-LITERACY. RL. 2. 4 Describe how words and phrases (e. g. , regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.
This witty winter tale deftly skewers the materialistic aspect of the holiday season in a humorous, trenchant way. * Kirkus Reviews * Dryly humorous cartoon illustrations in pen-and-ink and watercolor wash put Coyote' s emotions on full display. * Horn Book *
