Coyote and Badger are friends. They hunt together in the desert of the American Southwest. When they spot Jackrabbit, they take off at once, just as hungry animals have done since the world began. Pursuing Jackrabbit, Coyote and Badger come upon an amazing sight -- the walls of a cave, covered with pictures of their ancient ancestors. Later, in a dream, Coyote goes back to the time when the creatures in the rock art roamed the land. Even a jackrabbit is there . . . In simple words and striking batik art, Harriet Peck Taylor contrasts the present with the distant past and shows that some things havent changed at all.
