Dr. Anne Anderson has written a charming children?s story about a young rabbit, called Wapi in Cree, who learns to live on his own in the forest. She has structured the story in book and cassette format so that the child can learn Cree animal names and common phrases. The accompanying cassette features Mary Wells reading the story. Her voice is clear and listeners can distinctly hear the Cree words and phrases. The Cree words and phrases represent the ?Y? dialect of Plains and Woodland Cree of Alberta. The text is in English with animal names and simple phrases written in Cree. A glossary of each Cree word or phrase appears below the English text. The illustrations are simple and effective. A recommended storybook for young children as well as those wanting to experience the Cree language.
