Why the Owl Has Big Ears

Why the Owl Has Big Ears
No one is supposed to watch Rawens as he creates the plants and animals.  Yet, for the impatient lump of clay sitting in a tree; patience is running short, and it asks Rawens to "make me now".  This book tells the Iroquois story of how the rabbit and owl were created, and teaches a lesson about patience and listening.  Written and illustrated by the Minnesota team of Mike Preble and Shawn McCann, this is one to add to your folklore collection.
