Gluskabe and the Four Wishes

Rating:
Summary: An incredible traditional tale with Caldecott like pictures.
Review: This traditional Native American tale, retold by Josheph Bruchac, a hearalded Native American author and story teller, is a moral story with the theme of living for others and good things come to those who wait. Christine Nyburg Shrader's illustrations are incredible. They capture a true Native American spirit and complement Joseph Bruchac's interpretation perfectley. The book is invaluable in a classroom setting, especialy for younger grades (1-4). The story gives great insight into Native American culture and may clarify some misunderstaindings. It allows children the opportunity to think criticaly as well as teaching them a great lesson. The story should be in every classroom.
