Reading Notes: Brer Rabbit, Part B

Part B consisted of more stories about Brer Rabbit and other various characters.  These tales were entitled, Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs, Old Mr. Rabbit- He's a Good Fisherman, Mr. Rabbit Meets His Match Again, A Story about the Little Rabbits, Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Bear, Mr. Terrapin Shows His Strength, The Story of the Deluge, and Plantation Proverbs.

Something really unique about the Brer Rabbit Stories is that they are told in dialect from "Uncle Remus".  They are difficult to read on their own because of the dialect so it is important to either read them out loud, or listen to the recordings that are offered! For Part B, I chose the listening option and the story I enjoyed the most was Mr. Fox and the Deceitful Frogs.

In the story Mr. Fox is tricked into the pond where the frogs live and almost drowns but manages to escape.  I enjoyed it because the last story that I wrote about in Part A, Mr. Fox was doing the tricking, so it was fun to see him getting a taste of his own medicine.
