The Very First Americans (Grosset & Dunlap All Aboard Book)

I’ve not read this entirely yet but it’s been an informative lil book. It is just as shown. It’s really nice to see books made on American Indians. Too bad there isn’t more books on the subject available, plus some for smaller children. I’d like to share this topic to my grandsons so they can visualize and understand their heritage.

Delivery was good. I like my item.

This book is an Accelerated Reader book at 4.0 level. The book has great illustrations that seem realistic yet colorful and pleasing to children. The text is interesting and realistic. This book gives one to two page introduction to several Native American tribes. Each page is about one paragraph long (4 to 6 sentences). The information is not hostile to Native Americans. Some history books do not present the information realistically and are written from a white man's fictional perspective almost. This author did a fair job of being unbias. At the end, they tell the truth that Native peoples were put on reservations. My husband is 100% Pueblo. He was not offended by this book.

Good illustration

This was purchased as a gift for a young boy age 5. With his parent’s guidance, he will learn more in his interest of the Native American culture. Great graphics, sturdy binding.

I enjoyed reading this book

This is a great little book for intro to native Americans in elementary school.

This book is an excellent overview of who the Native Americans are. I got it to homeschool my 4 and 6 year olds. It doesn’t go in depth about the horrible atrocities Native Americans faced By Europeans, and Instead focuses more on their culture, history and where they came from. My little ones are too young to hear about how they were raped, murdered and had religion forced on them, so while I do eventually want to teach them about that aspect as well when they are older, this book is a good starting point for now.
