4.0 out of 5 stars
Good,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Kirsten and the Chippewa (American Girls Short Stories) (Hardcover)
This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Kirsten Larson, a nine-year-old girl from Sweden, whose family has moved to frontier Minnesota of 1854. It is winter, and the men of the Larson household are off earning extra money logging. When a group of Chippewa (Ojibwa) warriors arrive, wearing war paint, Kirsten is deeply afraid. However, working with these new strangers, Kirsten learns that they are not as fierce as they look.The final chapter of this book really makes it something special, covering the Chippewa (Ojibwa) Indians, and then giving directions for making a delicious Birds' Nest Pudding. This is a good story, with Renee Graef's usual excellent illustrations. My favorite part, though, was when my daughter insisted on making the Birds' Nest Pudding.
5.0 out of 5 stars
