5.0 out of 5 stars amazing storytelling, June 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Om-Kas-Toe: Blackfeet Twin Captures an Elkdog : Autographed (Amazing Indian Children) (Paperback)

I first saw Kenneth Thomasma speak when I was in third grade. He told the story of Om-Kas-Toe, and I imediately decided to buy the book. It is an amazing story about a boys friendship with a crow, and the story of the introduction of horses to Blackfeet culture. I read the entire book in one sitting. Kenneth Thomasma is an amazing story teller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining for children (and good with potato chips), February 8, 2000

This review is from: Om-Kas-Toe: Blackfeet Twin Captures an Elkdog (Amazing Indian Children Series) (Paperback)

I have fond memories of curling up with this book and a few potato chips (yes, potato chips). I think this is a wonderful, educational book for young children - and definitely not your run-of-the-mill school assignment. The way in which the author portrays the Blackfeet life is believable, the characterizations of the twins engaging, and the plotline very entertaining. I read this over and over, even after I had run out of potato chips.

4.0 out of 5 stars Om-Kas-Toe: Blackfeet Twin Capturers and Elkdog, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Om-Kas-Toe: Blackfeet Twin Captures an Elkdog (Amazing Indian Children Series) (Paperback)

Ken Thomasma came to my son's school. We bought a copy of the book so it could be autographed. However, we didn't read the book until several years later. I wished I hadn't waited so long. The story is about Om-Kas-Toe, a young Indian boy, who demostrates his honesty, bravery, and courage as he grows up and becomes a man. The book gives a wonderful insight into the Indian culture and values. My son and I both loved this book. I and I am going to order several other Ken Thomasma books.
