The Most Important Critter in the Whole Wide World

Listen! Oh listen children while a tale I tell. Hear the tale of how the rooster, on the first day that ever was, wakes the sun and all the other critters too, the coyote among them. How the coyote, hungry for his first meal, decides that the rooster would be a tasty treat and sets out to find the bird. When he does he tries to coax the rooster down from his high perch. But the rooster is clever and things do not work out well for the coyote.
A read aloud story, a bed-time story, or a coloring book if you like.
The legends of the American Indians have delighted children for generations, as have stories in verse such as THE CAT IN THE HAT by Dr. Seuss.

It's a fine story to read aloud, a wonderful gift for parents and grandparents to give to their children, and a delightful bedtime story to send the young ones off into happy dreams.
