Related in a comfortable, storytelling style, the tales sound splendid read aloud.
 
In the Creation story, the earliest beings are insects who live in the "first world" until driven out by the gods; they migrate (or evolve) up through succeeding worlds until they reach the fourth, where they attain human form.
 
In another tale, First Man and First Woman make the sun, moon and some stars; mischievous Coyote hurls the remaining star material across the sky to create the Milky Way.
 
For acts of bravery, there are the Hero Twins who, with the help of their father the Sun God, defeat monsters threatening their land but spare Old Age, Cold, Poverty and Hunger.
