Industry Reviews
Gr 3-6 Seven folktales from the Zu?i, Mandan, Cree, Chuckchee, Osage, Mohawk, and Modoc traditions that explore the creation of the world and the origin of humans. Taylor illustrates each of these well-told tales with a bold, somewhat surrealistic, full-page painting that incorporates multiple elements of the story, except for the longest selection, which is accompanied by two full-page illustrations and one brilliant, double-page painting. The tales are brief but clearly written and lend themselves to being read aloud. The text is set in large black type, with good use of white space; that, along with the captivating art, make the book appealing. It would be particularly good for classroom discussions, as the diversity represented helps dispel the myth of a ``generic'' Native American culture. Donna L. Scanlon, Lancaster County Library, PA
