We've been taking this book out the library for years. We finally bought it. As with all of the books by Ingri and Edgar Parin d'aulaire, the illustrations are beautiful, the stories full of information and the facts true. They are very easy to read but still not wishy-washy. We all learn something everytime we read them. You want to read them over and over. Our children read these for fun. Wonderful.

I read this book to my children last night and I found myself editing some of the words. It introduces animistic concepts I am not comfortable with my 3, 5, and 7 year old learning. Although the authors explain it a bit, I think it was not age appropriate. I am aware this maybe because of my personal convictions. The pictures are interesting and probably the my favorite part of the book. We loved the Abraham Lincoln book.

Captain John Smith had to die. The Indian medicine men said so. His guns were sticks of evil magic. But Pocahontas, young princess of mighty Chief Powhatan, liked this paleface stranger; she rushed forward to save his life. From that time on, Pocahontas's life was changed.

I purchased this book for my 6 year old daughter who has an intense interest in American Indians. She wanted to do a lapbook and I found one from homeschoolshare.com to go along with this book.
Although not all of the information in the book is true it is a wonderful adventure to read. The illustrations are gorgeous as well.
This series of books by these authors are highly recommended to anyone looking for good quality picture books to read to their children.

Book arrived in condition described and shipped in very timely manner. Pleased all around. Thank you!

I think this was an okay book for kids. It was funny when the animals played around and it was sad when the indians took john smith away.
