Customer Reviews

Great book!

I am a third grade teacher and I use this book every year in my classroom when we study Native Americans. It tells the story of how the big dipper was created. It shows the culture of the people. My students always enjoy it.

Native legends told simply, beautifully, and poetically

Ostentively written for children, Terri Cohlene captures the spirit of a Cheyenne legend explaining the origin of stars. She then goes it one better by compiling an entertaining and educational perspective on the historical and cultural aspects of the Cheyene civilization. After reading her marvelous tale I was surprised to find the entire last half serving as a text book to further educate me. I learned something reading this and so can you.
