North American Indian Masks: Craft and Legends

I am so happy with this book. I realize it is an old book, but it has such wonderful information in it. I have a class of children that are doing papier mache, and they are going to do some masks. Not only will they learn the tribe, and the reason for the mask, but a little lore with the making. The little stories that go along with the masks are great. I think that when we start to work on this the kids will be enthralled with the legends that are in this book. The book is in great shape and it arrived in good time. Thanks so much
