Customer Reviews

A well told tale

I really enjoyed this book! It is a great tool to teach children about sharing. Children will find it easy to understand and the illustrations are great. Teachers will find it useful to teach students about the Plains Indians and some of their customs. A detailed explanation about the mice and the original tale is included, as well as a glossary.
