Book Reviews of The Adventures of Brer Rabbit and Friends
Book Review: Onomatopoeia, science, oral tradition, trickster folktales and more
Summary: 5 Stars
I requested this book from the library because my homeschool co-op is doing a study of Georgia history, and I am teaching literature/writing to 7-8 year olds. I'm new to Georgia, so I had to do some research to figure out what "Georgia literature" to incorporate into my class--and I found this wonderful book. But this book is NOT just for Georgians. It's full of all sorts of great learning. You'll find plenty of onomatopoeia, you'll learn about animals and their habitats, you'll "hear" vernacular of the South and of African Americans, and of course the book is all about trickster folktales--which provides you with all sorts of opportunities to compare to Anansi and even Bugs Bunny. And while you're doing a comparison-contrast study, you can compare to Grimm's collection of tales and/or Aesop's collection of tales. But, frankly, this book is just well written and well-illustrated from cover to cover. It's fantastic. I'm ordering one for our house--it's one I MUST own.
