Two Stars is Charitable,
By Library Gaga (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How the Indians Bought the Farm (Hardcover)
. The Indians (not `Native Americans') have a problem: where are they going to get the cows, pigs, and sheep the government representative tells them they must raise in order to keep the new house and barn on which they have been forced to move? With low finances, they must use their ingenuity to procure livestock from the woods.
As moose, beaver, and bear come to their aid, the message that Native Americans are more in sync with nature comes across. The wild animals act anthropomorphic and win the Indian couple their farm. It is a mildly amusing story with watercolor illustrations that will win no Caldecotts but aren't too bad. This story is freighted with heavier meaning than children will understand or care about. |
