great twist to the "lady that swallowed a fly"
Excellent book for little ones. My daugther absolutely loves hearing me read this to her and loves to look at all the pages. Very creatively put together and puts a new twist on the old story of "the lady that swallowed a fly". Highly recommend this book for your childrens library.

The ABC's of Golf

Coyote Pub, 2000

The ABC's of golf teaches a new way to look at golf.
The author, Dan Kirby, goes through the normal steps of teaching golf but he also goes much further. He delves into the mental and spiritual aspects of the game that are rarely addressed in other instructional books. He has taught me to relax and stop trying so hard. The game of golf, in my mind, is 25% mechanical and 75% mental. He focuses on the mechanical side of golf of course, but more ...

Jesus Coyote

Harold Jaffe

Raw Dog Screaming Press, 2008

A "Howl" Out for Jesus Coyote
The line that separates (purported) Messianic leaders from demonic cult figures is arguably a very fine one. The black-and-white, good-vs-evil dictum that we like to ascribe to the failings (and perhaps atrocities) of the latter isn't so clear-cut. That's why people like Jim Jones, David Koresh and Charles Manson continue to fascinate the media and the general public. We're conflicted with ...

Coyote Medicine: Lessons from Native American Healing

Lewis Mehl-Madrona

Scribner, 1997

Essential Reading on Holistic Medicine
This book blew me away. I have reread much of it so many times and bought multiple copies for friends. I have filled the margins of my copy with notes and filled notebooks with essays and thoughts inspired by Dr. Mehl-Madrona's book. It is nothing short of miraculous itself, in addition to describing medical miracles and how they are brought about by spiritual intervention and Native American ...

Los tres pequeños jabalíes / The Three Little Javelinas

Luna Rising Editors

Luna Rising, 1996

A retelling of the "Three Little Pigs" story with a tumbleweed twist!
Who hasn't heard of or read the classic story for children, The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf? In this retelling, the pigs are javelinas, and the wolf is the trickster, the coyote. Instead of houses made of straw, sticks, and bricks, the houses are made of tumbleweed, cactus ribs, and adobe bricks. The ending won't surprise you. There's a reason coyotes howl like they mean it. ...

Mad Coyote Joe

Northland, 2000

A nice little airport pickup
I had some time to kill while waiting for a flight to take off from Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. I started looking at some cookbooks, and this offering from Mad Coyote Joe was displayed prominently. Once you flip through this book, it's as good as bought! MCJ is upfront about his background - he's not a trained cook, but he loves the food he makes, knows it backwards and forwards, and ...

Zen Flesh, Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings

44 reviews

Audio Literature, 1997

The First and Still the Best
This little book was the first popular introduction to Zen in the English language, published by Hawai'ian/ Japanese publisher Tuttle in 1957, compiled from earlier booklets. The date gives the Introduction and the comments a quaint Beat Generation-ish flavour not without its charm. This was the book that introduced me to Zen at the age of 15: I felt I had discovered a new world, I read and ...

A Mystical Journey that Connects all the Dots in Reality
"A fascinating read that takes a leap outside the ordinary, and guides you on a mystical journey that effortlessly stretches ones mind, and shows that life is in fact far from the ordinary. Like the perfect fairy tale, The Coyote Oak is cool drink from a tall glass of creativity, and is a refreshing read where fantasy lightly taps you on the shoulder as a reminder that we are all connected, and ...

Listening for Coyote: A Walk Across Oregon's Wilderness

William L. Sullivan

Oregon State University Press, 2000

I wish I could give it more stars!
This book was a Christmas present for my boyfriend, but I snagged it first and did nothing but rave about it as I read it. The writing style is perfect - educational, personal, and almost like you are actually there with him on the hike. The tidbits of history, geology, botany are blended with observations of those met along the way and the writer's own growth. I'm not a hiker (not even ...

Rising Moon, 2007

Extremely pleased
I ordered this book as a Christmas present and everything was exactly as I expected. This is an absolutely beautifully ilustrated hardcover book, quite large, with a delightful story presented through various southwestern animals perspective. Even teaches a little lesson about bragging to much. I can't think of one thing that anyone with a love for animals could find objectionable. My wife and I ...

Coyote Healing: Miracles in Native Medicine

5 reviews
Lewis Mehl-Madrona

Bear & Company, 2003

"I build hope..."
Dr. Mehl-Madrona's magnificent first book, COYOTE MEDICINE, was seen through wide-eyes: a young doctor discovering his own roots and shedding illusions about the omnipotence of science. By contrast, COYOTE HEALING reveals a sure sense of purpose and conviction in his approach. One senses a mission- that this book is more than an account, but an active attempt to spread the word. No longer ...

Wildlife Painting Basics: Wolves, Foxes, & Coyotes (Wildlife Painting Basics)

6 reviews
Jan Martin McGuire

North Light Books, 2001

Outstanding!
I counted 112 pages filled with 220 pictures, all in full color, including many wonderful, useful sketches of wolves, foxes and coyotes. There are 128 pages in the book and certainly more information than you could ever imagine. I am a wildlife painter and I too use acrylics and Ms. McGuire offered many tricks and tips that I had never seen but now use with a new excitement. I believe that the ...

Jillian Lund's creative prose and illustrations are pure genius! Two Cool Coyotes and Way Out West Lives A Coyote Named Frank are must-haves for any childrens library! Our children learned to read between the ages of three and four years old.

Coyote Revenge

Fred R. Harris

Avon Books, 2000

Coyote Revenge
I started out giving it five stars, but downgraded to four because the mystery was so easy to solve. However, and this is a big however, the sense of time, place, and people was so right on the nose that I could hear my grandfather's voice coming right out at me off the pages. He was born in the Oklahoma Territory and was one of the "Okies" to migrate to California to be called "fruit tramps." ...

Jonathan, G. Way

Dog Ear Publishing, LLC, 2007

This book is awesome.
Wildlife Biologist Jonathan Way raises the clarion call for coyotes and leaves some indelible tracks behind in this wonderful and engaging book. My appreciation for canis latrans has doubled since delving into Suburban Howls. I enjoyed it immensely and will recommend it to anyone who is interested in wildlife, the politics of it and the sometimes tumultuous relationship that ensues when worlds ...
