One day, a man named Brave Wolf went hunting in the hills. He did not return for several weeks, and when he came back to camp, he told his family and friends what had happened to him while he was gone.
While he was hunting, a huge Thunderbird flew over and snatched him up in her giant claws. She took him to a high cliff, overlooking a lake up in the mountains.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-In this story from the Crow people, Thunderbird takes a young man to her nest to save her chicks from a hungry lake monster. Although the story is very simple, the telling flows naturally, and is exciting enough to involve children. The brightly colored illustrations are almost childlike, and are reminiscent of the traditional paintings done by Plains Indians on animal hides. Archival photographs and factual information appear in a short section following the story. Unfortunately, part of this useful information is printed on the back endpapers. A good selection to add to Native folklore collections.
