IKTOMI AND THE DUCKS
A Plains Indian Story
by Paul Goble
The third of Goble's exquisitely illustrated stories about a posturing Sioux trickster—who again gets his comeuppance from a trick directed back at him and who again survives unrepentant. A bit less deftly than Lester in his Uncle Remus retellings, Goble updates the tale by slipping in some comic anachronistic asides ("roast duck. . . bad for my cholesterol level").
