Minneapolis Public Schools, MN.
Although suitable for students of all ages, this illustrated resource booklet is specifically intended to help teach young children the Ojibwe names of 19 familiar domestic and wild animals. Three brief, simple English sentences offer clues describing an animal, and these are followed by a final sentence stating the animal's Ojibwe name. The facing page provides a line drawing of the animal suitable for reproducing and coloring by the student. The booklet includes the raccoon (ay-si-bun), bird (bi-nay-shee), deer (wah-wash-kay-shee), squirrel (ah-ji-dah-moo), eagle (mee-gi-zee), wolf (mah-eeng-gun), pig (goo-koosh), fish (gee-goo), porcupine (gog), duck (zhee-sheeb), skunk (shi-gog), beaver (ah-mik), owl (koo-koo-koo-oo), dog (ah-ni-moosh), buffalo (mah-shko-day-bi-zhi-kee), bear (mah-kwah), horse (bay-bay-zhi-goo-gah-zhee), cat (gah-zhah-gayns), and rabbit (wah-booz).
