Tales of Uncle Remus (Puffin Modern Classics) by Julius Lester

The classic tales of Brer Rabbitt with a contemporary twist, by the award winning author Julius Lester and illustrated by award-winning Jerry Pinkney

Whether he is besting Brer Fox or sneaking into Mr. Man's garden, Brer Rabbit is always teaching a valuable lesson. These classic tales are full of wit, humor, and creativity, and Julius Lester brings an added contemporary sense to these forty-eight timeless stories.

Lester juxtaposes a contemporary voice and settings (like shopping malls) with some dialect in these wonderfully funny folktales, --Publisher's Weekly
