4.0 out of 5 stars
This book is an excellent resource for teaching US History.,
By A Customer
This review is from: USKids History: Book of the American Indians (Brown Paper School) (Paperback)
I am a K-8 teacher and tutor. I have been using this book to teach early American History to a 4th grade homeschooling student. This book has offered excellent multicultural perspectives, and has fascinated my student with the legends and descriptions of early Native American cultures. I love being able to integrate art, writing, reading and history with this book, and my student has enjoyed following the directions to make her own moccasins, tipis, and other Native American crafts. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gaining more perspective than is typically offered in a classroom history textbook.

By A Customer
This review is from: USKids History: Book of the American Indians (Brown Paper School) (Paperback)
We are using this book for our coverage of early American History in homeschool. My son is only eight, but he really enjoys the wonderful stories and activities provided in the book. All of these books offer history in a way that children understand and have fun exploring. These books are the mainstay of our homeschool history cirriculum. We love it!

This review is from: USKids History: Book of the American Indians (Brown Paper School) (Paperback)
I am on a quest to obtain all of these Brown Paper School books, because every single one I own is a real educational gem.
This one is no exception - kids (and probably most of their parents) will learn so much about North American Indians through this little book, with its informative stories, vivid retellings of Indian legends, and engaging projects and games. The book divides the North American Indians into the Peoples of the Northwest, California, Southwest, Great Basin, Plains, Northeast, and Southeast. Each section is amply illustrated with black and white drawings. The book gives a really good feel for the cultural differences of tribes based on where they live. However, if you are using this book to teach specific content and not just for enjoyment, I will say I found it necessary to supplement this book with others in order to round out the curriculum and refine my children's ability to compare and contrast the various North American Indians.
