My Comments What I learned from this book was that you should always trust in yourself and never take valuable things that is not yours with out asking. I very much enjoyed this book and would like to read it again. My favorite part of the story was when Tepary tricked the coyote with crickets help. This story was similar to my life because of the adventures that I have with some of my friends. I will always remember this story by the seeds that were very special to Tepary and his family and friends.
