New Child's Book" Coyote Steals The Blanket" A Ute Indian Tale by Janet Stevens. paperback size 11" by 8". The pictures are beautiful. There is a beautiful picture that shows Delicate Arch In Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.

Beautiful Gift Book. A greedy coyote thinks that he owns everything. One day he comes across these beautiful Indian-blankets but before a little bird had warned him not to take-them, but the greedy coyote took them anyway. The rock chased him all over and there was no way that he could stop it, unless he returned the blanket. I like this book because it teaches a wonderful lesson that I believe all children should learn, that you should not take what is not yours. I think the author did a great job getting that lesson across in a simple enough fashion that young children can understand.
