Here are the stories in Part A; they come from Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit by Joel Chandler Harris, along a few stories from Nights with Uncle Remus. In this part of the unit, there are lots of illustrations by Conde too, which are fun to see, kind of like a Brer Rabbit cartoon.
My two favorite stories this time are the animal house story, and also the story about how the lion lost his fur!
The Creeturs Go to the Barbecue
Brer Rabbit's Frolic
Brother Bear's Big House.
Brer Rabbit Treats the Creeturs to a Race
Brer Rabbit and the Gold Mine
Brer Rabbit Gets Brer Fox a Hoss
Brer Rabbit Finds the Moon in the Mill Pond

Here are all the animals being driven out of the house with Brer Rabbit shouting at them from upstairs:
