Why read it?
1 author picked How Chipmunk Got His Stripes as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this Native American folktale because it is a lesser-known one, and its message is appropriate for young children. Chipmunk, the main character, learns a great lesson about bragging. Folktales are an excellent resource for teaching children lessons without being preachy. This one has messages about kindness, bragging, and friendship. The illustrations are amazing too!
From Annemarie's list on folktales for children ages 4-8.
