Julius Lester's The Tales of Uncle Remus and More Tales of Uncle Remus were both ALA Notable Books, and each one received starred reviews in Booklist, The Horn Book, School Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books. The Horn Book said, "Either of the two volumes is a major contribution to folklore for children; together, they outdistance all challengers."

Now the wily Brer Rabbit is back, along with all of his friends and enemies. Watch tiny Miz Cricket outfox Brer Fox and get the best of Brer Elephant, Brer Lion, and Brer Tiger. Listen as Mr. Benjamin Ram picks up his fiddle and charms his way past a ravenous Brer Wolf. And find out just what sort of creature the Doodang is, and just what happens when he decides he wants to swim like a fish and fly like a bird. 

With all the distinctive humor that marked their first two Uncler Remus books, Newbery Honor author Julius Lester and Caldecott Honor artist Jerry Pinkney bring sizzling new life to thirty-three more delightful Black American folktales.
