Fun! -- For Kids and Adults
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this book for my ten year old, who's going through an "Indian" phase. He loved it--it's full of fun facts, and it got him even more interested in Indians and their culture. (He's getting to be a real buff on the Cherokee.) More surprising, though, the book got me hooked. I had a great time reading it with Jeremy. The Q & A format lets you flip around, and each entry is short enough to read quickly, but long enough to contain plenty of information. The illustrations are also good. All and all, it's a terrific book to read with your kids.
