Not a book about numbers, but a quiet, respectful survey of some Native American customs organized through the structure of a counting rhyme, populated by rabbits dressed in traditional garb, from "one lonely traveler riding on the plain" to "ten sleepy weavers knowing day is done." Notes at the back identify each tribe represented (Plains, Pueblo, Great Lakes, Northwestern, and Southwestern peoples), and provide information about the pictures. The rabbits have an earnest charm reminiscent of Marjorie Flack's industrious family in Heyward's The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes (Houghton, 1974). In double-page spreads adopting the muted colors of the Earth's own dyes, the rabbits play out their tableaux against ample natural vistas that are undisturbed by power lines, asphalt, fences, or the like. Informative pictures invite group sharing, while the gentle mood suits bedtime as well. --Karen Litton, London Public Libraries, Ontario, Canada Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
