"In this collection of twenty-two tales of Nimipoo you will hear how Itsayaya used his magic medicine to keep the animals happy and safe -- and sometimes turned it to his own ends. How Itsayaya summoned the warm west wind to save the animals from the snow, how he punished fickle Miss Frog by turning her to stone, and how, in the end, he lost his place in Akum-kinny-koo, the happy hunting ground -- all thse beautiful and delightful stories. Their humor and dignity are complemented by Eric Carle's dramatic linocuts."
