Rabbit's Snow Dance
Rabbit's Snow Dance | Joseph Bruchac, James Bruchac
6 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
Rabbits 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. Pair it with other stories about stubborn animals like Karma Wilsons Bear Wants More and Verna Aardemas Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears. Rabbit loves the winter. He knows a dance, using an Iroquois drum and song, to make it snoweven in summertime! When rabbit decides that it should snow early, he starts his dance and the snow begins to fall. The other forest animals are not happy and ask him to stop, but Rabbit doesnt listen. How much snow is too much, and will Rabbit know when to stop? The father-son duo behind How Chipmunk Got His Stripes, Raccoons Last Race, and Turtles Race with Beaver present their latest retelling of Native American folklore. The telling is sprightly, and Newman's ink-and-watercolor artwork makes an ideal companion. An appealing addition to folktale shelves. Booklist This modern retelling maintains [the Bruchacs] solid reputation for keeping Native American tales fresh. School Library Journal The picturesque language makes it a pleasure to read aloud.BCCB

@mandarchy suggested I check out Brunch‘s picture books and this one was available on Libby. I love the description in the afterword. The world needs more of all these things. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #Spookoween2022 @TheSpineView #31by31 @Catsandbooks #PointsAThon @dieareader @GHABI4ROSES #OutstandingOctober @andrew65

Cute telling of an Iroquois legend about why rabbits have short tails. My son particularly enjoyed rabbit‘s snow chant, and spent the next two hours running around the house yelling it, so maybe not a bedtime story. 😂

No snow days for the wicked! 👿

Did it snow so much that school was canceled? YES.
Do I work in a school? YES.
Do I have to go to work anyway? ALSO YES.

I work in a shape-shifting library, which operates as an elementary school library during the day & a public library after-hours. Normally, it‘s kind of a fun & interesting situation but when there‘s a snow day, we still have to go to work (at the Main Branch downtown). I took a 1/2 day. 🤷‍♀️

AmyG BOO! 6y
LA_Mead Awww... I always have to go in to work too. In my board, teachers have to still be in the building as part of some agreement even when there aren‘t kids there 😜 6y
monalyisha @LA_Mead Bummer! I wish we could just go our regular location to work instead of downtown. All of my stuff is there (for class visit planning & programs) & there‘s plenty to do. It‘d be so productive to have some time without the kids! Downtown, we just get busy work & projects that the people who actually work there have deemed too boring or distasteful. 😖 Complain, complain. 😆 I‘m just going to enjoy my book & coffee for the next little bit. 6y

julesG No snow days here. Apart from there being no snow weather. It's blue skies, sunshine and temperatures still above freezing. 6y
monalyisha @julesG Blue skies & sunshine! My favorite! I mean, real warmth is *actually* my favorite but... 6y
LA_Mead It‘s a winter wonderland outside where I am! Beautiful, but hard to get outside with a 2 month old 😆 6y
amb 14” and counting, no and I decided to take PTO and spend my day shoveling 6y
Bookish_AF We never get snow days either ☹️ We had that heavy wet snow (same as you probably) that was up to my knees and I spent an hour desperately stuck in my driveway this morning because our plow guy hadn‘t come yet. We do have a snowblower. It was locked in the shed. My boyfriend had the only key to the shed on his key ring and he was still at work 🤦🏼‍♀️ lessons learned for next time 😂 6y
monalyisha @whippoorwill815 Oh man! 🙈 That‘s the worst! 6y
monalyisha @amb sounds like a blast! 😅 6y

Anyone here like rabbits? 🐰🐇 Random I know, but I raise dwarf rabbits at my parents house, and I'm planning to visit this weekend. I have a new litter of mini rex that I hope to take pictures of 😄 (the bottom right is the mom, dad is black)

JPeterson Adorable! I use to have a pet rabbit (mini lop) and he was the sweetest (when he was chewing holes in my shirt). 😂 7y
AmandaL I used to have Netherland Dwarf Rabbits and a Dwarf Hotot. 💕 7y
ReadingRover Super cute! One of my best friends is and exotic vet and I always love seeing the bunnies who go in for check ups. 7y

bookslesstravelled @AmandaL I have a ND pair, and Polish as well. 😆 7y
bookslesstravelled @JPeterson Haha yeah Heather (the mom in the picture) gets what my sister calls the 'nibbles' when she wants hay. 7y
bookslesstravelled @ReadingRover That's cool! I almost went to school to be a vet. I really want to do wildlife rescue though. 😃 7y
DebinHawaii Adorable! 🐰❤️🐰 7y
ReadingRover @adventuresthruwonderland 🤪That‘s why I‘m always at the exotic vet!!! I‘m a wildlife rehabber and they‘re kind enough to donate their services. You should look into becoming a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. What state do you live in? 7y
cariashley Awww adorable! I had dwarf rabbits when I was a teenager, loved those little guys! 7y
bookslesstravelled @ReadingRover I live in TN. There's a school in NC that trains for wildlife rehab that I might look into. 7y
bookslesstravelled @cariashley I had pet rabbits as a kid, but just recently started raising them 😊 7y
bookslesstravelled @DebinHawaii thank you! 😆 7y
