Solid, correct, factual. My 3rd grade class loves listening to me read this book aloud.

I am Cherokee and I bought this book in hopes to help my young nephew start to know his ancestry. I am sorely disappointed in the information in the book. Just flipping through the book when I received it in the mail. I found a ton of inaccuracies. A major 1 that eats at me, is under religion it refers to our Medicine Men as Priest (We can also have Medicine Women). We are not Catholic, we didn't even know about Christianity until the settlers came into our part of the country and literally forced us into it. I refuse to pass these lies on and call them history. I did find the Western Band of Cherokee's website www.cherokee.org and they have excellent information over Cherokee customs. I suggest to other parents/guardians to go to the site or try to find the Eastern Band of Cherokee website for information over Cherokee customs before I would subject my children to lies. My children will be taught the historical truth in the same manner I was taught- the good, the bad, and the ugly. My father and mother didn't sugar coat the ugly- I knew what the settlers did to my people and the horrors that went along with it at the early age of 3 ( as much as I could understand of it at the time).
The only thing I have good to say about this book, is that the way the authors have formatted it- the book would have a simple question like "what did you eat?" then they would answer it.

Early elementary students will enjoy this book as an addition to a study about Native Americans, or this general time period in history. The individual headings covered in this book give children a glimpse into the every day life of the Cherokee. The topics give young children a small dose of information they can consume and hang onto at their level. The text does not drag, and it leaves no room to get boring. The illustrations are nice and attractive for little ones. We have several of the books in this series, and we are equally pleased with them all.

Impulse purchase. Often, children's books contain snapshots of a subject. What would a child experience living day-to-day with First Nations' people? This YA picture book is 150 years earlier than what I need. The date was on the inside cover. Wished I'd known that first!

Book may prompt questions to ask. It will make a good gift for a teacher or a child for this time period. This picture book is one of a series.

I bought this for my great-grandson, so he will have a little knowledge of the true American side of his heritage. As each generation passes, these links become harder to trace. I, of course, read it before sending on to him and found it to be quite informative.

I love these books when teaching my students because they ask (and answer) questions that kids want to know about. What would the Cherokee wear? What would the Cherokee children do for fun? What did the Cherokee eat? Told in both pictures and text, this one is a great point of reference. Doesn't need to be read all in one sitting, can really be used here and there for specific classroom needs. Love the series.

I purchased this book for my grandchildren, so they have a sense of now and then how their lives would have been if they were raised Native. The illustrations, the descriptions and accuracy of the descriptions makes this little book 5 star. The entire series is excellent in teaching different time, culture and ethnics of living.
