I'll teach you everything I know, and guide you as you learn and grow, because you are my baby. A mama coyote sings moon songs through the night just as a mama human cuddles her baby and lays her down to sleep. This precious story illustrates that the love a mother feels for her child is not unlike the affection animal mothers in the desert show their offspring. Beautifully written text is lovingly complemented by Sylvia Long's wonderful illustrations, making this an important book for parents and children to share together.

Jack Rabbit boasts idly without much consideration for how he might actually accomplish the feats that he brags about. One day he goes a little too far-claiming he's so graceful that he can dance with a rattlesnake "without getting bit" and so brave that he can kiss coyotes and live to tell the tale. With that last boast, his desert friends have had enough and they challenge Jack to do so. Just when he thinks he has gotten away with kissing three sleeping coyotes, they wake up, and chaos ensues. How Jack makes good on all of his claims results in a funny, adventurous folktale, and Vaughan's folksy narrative keeps the story flowing.
