Getting Down and Dirty
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
As a child, I had more fun playing with rocks in a stream than I did with plastic toys on a warm carpet. This book is just such a romp of the imagination, and will be enjoyed by any child who enjoys the enticements of nature.Ms Dewey's book is about having fun with mud. She speaks about the role that mud plays in Native American ceremonies. She recounts her entrepreneurial excursions with medicinal mud, and tells us how people use mud and clay for buildings and art work. The books is full of imagination. For example, she finds fossils of the ever illusive camalope (part camel part antelope) in the mud banks near her home.In Mud Matters, the author invites the reader to get down and dirty, and to explore the very heart and essence of the land: mud.
