Mayo continues her exploration of American Indian trickster tales begun with Meet Tricky Coyote! and That Tricky Coyote! (Walker, 1993) with these companion volumes that feature the exploits of Rabbit, who creates trouble and amusement for Coyote, Wolf, Grizzly Bear, Fox, Bobcat and others. Each volume contains five stories from various American Indian oral traditions; a brief note at the end of each story details from who or where this particular version was adapted. Simple, short sentences and appealing acrylic artwork are effectively combined in this book designed for transitional readers. (Ages 6-9)

Tricky Rabbit, a figure out of native American lore east of the Mississippi, is clever enough to wriggle out of the tight spots he gets himself in, but not enough to stay out of trouble in the first place.
