Review

"The Bruchas translate the orality of the tale to written text beautifully, including dialogue that invites audience participation. Aruego and Dewey's signature cartoon-like illustrations extend the humor of the text perfectly."

Publisher's note

When Bear and Brown Squirrel have a disagreement about whether Bear can stop the sun from rising, Brown Squirrel ends up with claw marks on his back and becomes Chipmunk, the striped one.

Annotation

Bear boasts to Brown Squirrel that he can keep the sun from rising; so when it does rise, Brown Squirrel won't stop teasing Bear. Finally, fed up with the torment, Bear threatens to eat Brown Squirrel. Although Brown Squirrel manges to escape, he is clawed by Bear and left with scratch marks down his back--thus transforming him into a chipmunk. This retelling of a Native American pourquoi tale is accompanied by color illustrations.
