"These original stories, written in Anishinaabemowin, delight readers and language learners with the antics of animals who playfully deal with situations familiar to children in all cultures: sharing, picking playmates, ducking out of duties, dancing, and dodging dangers in the big world that surrounds their small lives. Interwoven in the stories are threads of Ojibwe culture, including characters derived from traditional clans."--P. [4] of cover.
