Ignore the catalogue's age level advice May 8, 2000

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them.This story is similar to Raven Goes Berrypicking - also retold by Anne Cameron. Raven the trickster overdoes his free meals as "guest" of the snipe family. They "teach him a lesson" if one can ever say a foolish trickster learns a lesson. Rather than leave an image of Raven as a fool, I would suggest that you also read of his heroics in either Raven returns the Water or How Raven freed the Moon. Both sides of Raven need to be heard to understand his place in the culture.
