This book is fascinating! I don't care if it is a children's book, I bought it before I traveled to Pueblo de Taos and Mesa Verde. I loved reading about how the pueblos and kivas were built. It's the next best thing to crawling inside for yourself!

This easy-to-read but very informative and well-researched book provides an entertaining and enlightening look back on the lives of the Pueblo people. With details about their religious beliefs, community lifestyle, architecture, female-centric culture, land-based livelihood and more, the book paints a vivid, thorough picture of the lives of this most interesting group of Native Americans. Definitely a recommendation for any middle school student looking for a research project or any other reader wanting to learn about a group of people who, despite drought, invading cultures and centuries of change, have retained their core beliefs and cultural practices since they first came into existence at least 6000 years ago.
