Coyote Tales - Native American Reader's Theater
This package was intended for November which is Native American month but can be done at any time. My name is Melanie Whitesides but my store name is Wonbyone.

Teaching Pourquoi Trickster Tales Using the Interactive Notebook
Pourquoi stories, or trickster tales as they are sometimes called, are told by many cultures around the world.
