5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for elementary children., February 16, 1998

This review is from: Helen Cordero And The Storytellers Of The Cochiti Pueblo (Closer Look Activity Book) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book. I am an art teacher who uses this book to help children appreciate other cultures and their traditions. I use the book for inspiring children when we do a clay project. I do not have the children copy the clay figures, but come up with ideas of their own. The media specialist at my school also uses it to encourage children to create their own stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for parents and art teachers alike!, May 28, 2009
