"This story comes from the Métis...In this story, the people come to see how differently seagulls and whisky jacks behave."--Page 16.

"A Rubicon book" "These fun and engaging traditional stories combine moral lessons and humour, and lend themselves to rich classroom discussion about right and wrong, respect and disrespect, honesty and dishonesty. The tricksters in these stories can take many forms, such as animals, mythological heroes, or transformers. They love to laugh and play jokes, often getting into trouble, but they can also be helpful and wise."--Publisher's website. Scholastic's Trickster Tales consists of eight different series from the West Coast, Plains, Great Lakes, East Coast, and the North.
