Yosemite Miwok tale

I have performed this delightful Yosemite Miwok tale for many years primarily with a fleece storyboard. I live an hour and half drive to Yosemite National Park in California and this story really captures the imagination of children. The story script version I use for the fleece storyboard is simpler without the animals speaking. I have also had  5th grade students perform this story script  as a shadow puppet show and also with a crankie, both with puppets the students made. The photos show all versions of the puppetry I have explored with this story.
