"The telling is sprightly, and Newman's ink-and-watercolor artwork makes an ideal companion. How much snow is too much, and will Rabbit know when to stop? The father-son duo behind How Chipmunk Got His Stripes, Raccoon's Last Race, and Turtle's Race with Beaver present their latest retelling of Native American folklore. The other forest animals are not happy and ask him to stop, but Rabbit doesn't listen.
He knows a dance, using an Iroquois drum and song, to make it snow-even in summertime When rabbit decides that it should snow early, he starts his dance and the snow begins to fall. Pair it with other stories about stubborn animals like Karma Wilson's Bear Wants More and Verna Aardema's Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears. Beaver and listeners will gain insight and want to participate in the lively telling as they gain clues. Instead, Beaver challenges her to a race and Turtle decides to take charge of the matter. Rabbit's Snow Dance Master storytellers Joseph and James Bruchac present a hip and funny take on an Iroquois folktale about the importance of patience, the seasons, and listening to your friends. When Beaver arrives at Turtles pond home, Turtle graciously offers to share the space.
