Description
Kootenai Why StoriesWhile trapping in Montana during the 1880s, young Frank B. Linderman befriended the Kootenai Indians. At their campfires he heard about Skinkoots the coyote, Co pee the owl, Frog Chief, and the other animal people. The telling impressed him, and in 1926 he was able, from long familiarity, to translate the tales for Kootenai Why Stories. Old Man appears as the flawed undergod known by different names to other tribes, a figure provoking more hilarity
While trapping in Montana during the 1880s, young Frank B. Linderman befriended the Kootenai Indians. At their campfires he heard about Skinkoots the coyote, Co-pee the owl, Frog Chief, and the other animal people. The telling impressed him, and in 1926 he was able, from long familiarity, to translate the tales for Kootenai Why Stories. Old-Man appears as the flawed undergod known by different names to other tribes, a figure provoking more hilarity than reverence. The frog is another prominent character in this northwestern Indian lore. Also recognizable for their distinctive attributes are the grizzly bear, deer, rabbit, and skunk. Making sense of nature, the stories explain why the coyote has thin legs, why the moose has a moose's nose, why the deer carries a black mark on the underjaw, and how the animals stole the springtime and put an end to winter. Linderman's retelling captures the mystery and spirit of a forested world.Binding Type: Paperback

The cutest backpack!
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
I was worried maybe this backpack wouldn’t last us the school year. I was pleasantly surprised as we are nearing the end of the year. It’s the most adorable pink and purple bag! It is on the smaller side but we’ve still been able to fit a normal sized folder in it plus her extra clothes and snacks with some room still.

VERY NICE BUT TOO BIG
Size: One Size, Color: Lilac Ditsy Floral
Let me start by saying its a great product and looked to be made very well. I did have to return it though because it was far too big for my child. Other than size being 1 size fits all with no dimensions given and, yes, somewhat smaller than other backpacks (for adults) it seemed to be a decent backpack. Too bad we couldn't use it but if you have a older kid would would great for.

Good Quality
Size: One Size, Color: Light Pink
Bought this for my 2 year old daughter for daycare. Big enough to fit her blanket, diapers wipes and extra clothing. Good quality and fits her well. She loves it.
