How Chipmunk Got His Stripes by Joseph Bruchac, James Bruchac
1. No awards
2. Kindergarten- grade 3
3. This book tells the Native American origin myth of the chipmunk. He starts off as the brown squirrel, but after challenging a bear and angering him with mockery, the brown squirrel gets scratched down his back, becoming chipmunk.
4. This engaging, colorful retelling of a classic origin tale engages children in myths and legends. With the plucky brown squirrel, and prideful bear, students guess what will happen, and laugh along with the story.
5. This book is great to introduce myths and legends. It can also be used as a model for students to write their own legends.
