Product Description

Product Description

A wonderful, rhythmic North American Indian folk tale...

As the leaves fall from the trees and the wind blows colder, the animals wish they had fire to keep them warm. But only the Sky People living high in the mountains have fire, and they guard it jealously. Rabbit has a plan, however: he makes a special resin-covered headdress, tricks the Sky People and steals some fire. All the animals help him in an exciting race to escape capture, and each is marked in some way by the stolen fire. Then Deer manages to hide the precious fire in the woods, so it can be theirs forever – but once it’s hidden, how will they get it back?

A lovely story! 20 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The year 2's I am teaching thoroughly enjoyed this delightful tale about a mischievous rabbit! Fire is their topic for the term, so it is particularly relevant...they especially liked the way the fire changed all the animals and were very creative in thinking up their own ways that fire has changed animals. An inspiring read!

Good story 12 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
My Y2 clas loved this story- a good basis to start work on story telling with a multi cultural theme- easy to develop use of language and v repetitive which is good for retelling but good as a basis for 'improving' with openers for more able pupils. A lovely book.
