Poor Coyote! How'd he get bonked by a rock-hard fruit underneath the jicara tree? Who tricked him into whacking a wasps' nest with a stick? And why is he always howling at the moon? Because of Rabbit, that's why! A Mexican trickster tale in which wily Rabbit outwits Coyote several times before escaping him permanently by climbing to the moon--which explains why Coyote is wont to howl at it. A book that's sure to appeal. -- Kirkus Reviews , pointer review This zesty collaboration is sure to be popular with some of dePaola's finest and most innovative art. -- Booklist , starred review An engaging retelling.Familiar and funny, yet different and distinctive. -- School Library Journal Tony Johnston lives in San Marino, California.
