How Chipmunk Got His Stripes by Joseph Bruchac, James Bruchac

3.0

Bear is the biggest and strongest of all the animals--and he knows it. Bear can do anything, he says. Anything he wants. A little squirrel challenges him by asking if he can stop the sun from rising. Of course, replies the bear. All through the night the bear repeats that the sun will not rise, while the squirrel taunts that it will. When the sun comes up, the bear is angry and the squirrel is in trouble.

This is another of the Bruchacs' Native American tales retold in book form. I didn't like it quite as much as the first book I read of theirs (Turtle's Race With Beaver), but it was a nice story and a good one to read to the little folks.
