    This was a horrible book! No offense to S.D Nelson or any of the other people that liked it, but this was too hard to follow and was just plain boring! *

    I love the cultural pictures. And the old photographs. I love the "circle of life picture the most.

    It was sort of a boring story. It wasn't hard to follow, but I meant that the words were so unusual. The pictures were all right. Overall, I think it was like any other book that you read every day. NO offense, S.D.Nelson.

    It's a great book on a Lakota boy's life. The pictures really looked like the Lakota people actually painted it. I really liked this book.****

    I thought this book was full of interesting history and information. I liked the real photographs used. The book was a little difficult to understand if you do not have any background knowledge of how the White man came and took away the land from the Native Americans. **

    I liked the book, but it wasn't my favorite. It was very confusing and it wasn't that intresting. It looked cute to me but I would say that it's more of a kindergarten through 2nd grade book. Sorry :( *
