Shape-changing Raven steals the sun from the Sky Chief to light the dark world in this handsome retelling. Drawn in the style of totem art, Raven, as a cut-out figure of red, green, blue, and black, is a striking presence appearing against softly painted gouache landscapes of watery blues and greens. McDermott"s economical story line is well shaped and laid out in short lines of text against the fully illustrated, luminous pages. -- Copyright © 1993 The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
