mariahroze's review against another edition
3.0
I read this book to my students and even though the story was great and they were learning about a different culture... they had a really hard time understand what was going on.
"A long time ago, fire belonged only to the animals in the land above, not to those on the earth below. Curlew, keeper of the sky world, guarded fire and kept it from the earth. Coyote, however, devised a clever plan to steal fire, aided by Grizzly Bear, Wren, Snake, Frog, Eagle, and Beaver. These brave and resourceful animal beings raided the land above and risked all to steal fire from Curlew."

Story Telling
I appreciated the lore and story. I was even more fond of the fact that they included a request and reasons for not reading this story aloud or for storytelling except during winter. The acknowledgements and phonetic guides were very helpful and a nice addition to the story containing authentic Salish words.
