Trickster: Native American Tales- A Graphic Collection by Matt Dembiki. Fulcrum Books, 2010. 220 pages.

Graphic compilation of native american trickster tales-- rabbit, raven, raccoon and coyote-- trickster tales from many native peoples, each retold by different authors and illustrators. I love folktales, trickster tales in particular and this compilation, while  necessarily uneven-- all those different writing and illustration styles-- is still very well done. The graphic format enhances the volume-- it is very tough to get most middle schoolers to pick up a volume of folklore. I loved it. A winner. BPL_BPS summer reading myths and legends- 6th - 8th grade.
