Excellent Book

This is the second time we have bought this book. The first time it came with some curriculum that we used and resold, but we couldn't live without this book so I bought it for our personal library. It has wonderful illustrations and is very informative.

This book is still around?!?!

I was delighted to see "North American Indians" on my children's home school book list. For whatever reason, this was one of my favorite books when *I* was a kid. Rather than being a trite, stereotypical book about Indians, as so many kids' books are, this one gives a good description of the historical tribes and their locales. I do wish it touched a little on where those tribes are today and how they are faring, as far too many kids have no concept whatsoever about modern Indians. However, there's only so much that can be squeezed into a children's picture book. All in all, I think it's very well done. I hope my own kids will enjoy it even half as much as I have.

My grandsons were fascinated with this book. Now they want more stories like this one.

My daughter enjoyed this book....

My 9 year old daughter enjoyed this book. It is a brief book over the different Indian tribes in the United states as they were before the white settlers arrived. We liked the U.S map at the beginning of the book that showed where each tribe lived. It is a short but good book with nice pictures that will add to any Indian study.

I bought this book a few years ago for my kids. Recently, my son was doing a report on Apache Indians. I was amazed to find that an original photo I found on the internet matched the book illustration quite well. Everything in the book matched and sometimes exceeded all of the information that my son had on various Indian tribes. A simple, beautifully done introduction to American Indians for children!! I am going to buy a few more copies to give to my son's school library.
