《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 1-3In this striking alphabet book, 26 stunning full-color paintings, surrounded by a border painted to look like birch bark, depict aspects of Native American life, and are accompanied by simple poetic phrases. The stated purpose of this project is to exemplify the diversity of Native nations, both past and present. This intention is beautifully carried out, but leads to unfortunate, yet probable confusion. While most of the pictures depict historical dress, settings, and activities, the letter N is represented by a contemporary Navajo man wearing jeans and cowboy boots. Without informed guidance, children may miss the distinction between modern day and historical illustrations, and, therefore, develop inaccurate impressions or generalizations. The use of hanging participles adds to the confusion. Also, among the wonderful variety of tribes shown are two letters represented by animals; while it is not hard to make the connection between them and the peoples, it is not stated. The author's note is helpful but brief, and lacks a pronunciation guide. A marginal addition.Darcy Schild, Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, KS (c) Copyright 2010.

Although the book succeeds in showing the diversity among Native tribes, the fact that both historical and contemporary images are included is made clear only in the appended author's note, and not in the text. The rhyming text sometimes sounds contrived, and the letter-per-tribe technique results in four letters that don't fit the pattern, interrupting the flow of the book. Handsome illustrations accompany the brief text. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Gr. 1^-3. Look to this book for a means of organizing visual information for younger readers on some of the cultures and nations of North America's native people. Although there is no consistency of rhythm or congruity in pattern in the brief line of text for each letter, the book should prove valuable for introducing a cross section of the diverse Indian people. Goetzl's illustrations, each framed by a white bark border, provide details on tribal dress, housing, and customs. Younger children will enjoy spending time with the illustrations, discovering bear tracks, shooting stars, and ceremonial shields. Bruchac includes a brief endnote grouping the Native American nations represented here by geographic location. There is no pronunciation guide or map, which some adult readers may desire. Teachers who find that children group Indians by generic media stereotypes may feel this title is particularly useful as an opening to a basic level of understanding of the many Native American nations and their people. --Karen Morgan
