Customer Reviews

One of my Son's Favorites

My younger son loved this book. Actually, maybe he just loved hearing his Dad say "Quetzacoatl" and "Tezcatlipoca". He still loves music, and makes music. And he does know music is the gift of the divine. I like to think reading this book (and discussing the beautiful artwork) with him helped.

Attention grabbing!

While there are some issues between the text and the pictures, there is no better storybook to grab the attention of young students studing ancient American archaelogy, folklore and/ or effective book illustration. Each page is a jewel. Grade-A!
