When Turtle Grew Feathers (A Tale from the Choctaw Nation), by Tim Tingle


Synopsis: Variations of the race between the tortoise and the hare crop up regularly, but this version, retold as a trickster tale, stands out for its humor and expressive illustrations. Here, the rabbit only thinks he raced a turtle. In fact, it was a flying turkey wearing Turtle's shell.

Activity: Summarize the story from Turtle's point of view, using 6 sentences.
