title: Coyote Walks on Two Legs: A Book of Navajo Myths and Legends
author:  Gerald Hausman 
description: Grade 2-4?In this fine collection, a master storyteller relates five traditional tales. In these selections, told in lyrical, free-flowing prose, readers see Coyote as a trickster, a fool, as well as a hero. These are not the silly Coyote stories of Gerald McDermott but rather more serious legends, such as "The Great Flood," "The Guardian of the Corn," and others. Coyote, here, is both everyman and himself, an animal and human prototype. Cooper's fittingly muted, sepia and gold-toned watercolor illustrations have a dreamlike quality. The animals are rendered in a naturalistic, but soft-focused style and are particularly expressive. A well done but additional purchase.?Beth Tegart, Oneida City Schools, NY<BR>Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Coyote had a plan which he knew he
  
  
  could carry out because of his great power. He took his heart and cut it in
  half. He put one half right at the tip of his nose and the other half at the
  end of his tail.
