Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
I read the other reviews concerning the true Indian culture and how it was distorted, But.... My preschooler loves this book and so do I. Being that this geared toward young children, they don't care about who skimped on the truth. It is just a great story of a grandfather paying attention to his grandchild.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - How did I miss this story?
One of the most beautiful children's stories I've ever read, coupled with magnificent illustrations, I bought in the big book size...its like seeing a movie on big screen as opposed to at home.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite book
Although this is a children's book & I am an adult, I have bought it many times as a gift for my friends. I read it when I need to revive my spirit. It is an absolutely beautiful book-- the words & the paintings.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Totally inaccurate book
Imagine a book in which Grandfather is a rabbi, Grandson is an alterboy, and they are described as "of the Quaker faith." You would still not be as far from the truth as this book. Sure it's a "heart-warming" tale. Many cultural inaccuracies are conveyed through heart-warming stories. For more detailed reference on the problems with this book, see:

Slapin, Beverly, & Seale, Doris. (1998). Through Indian eyes: The Native experience in books for children. Berkeley: University of California American Indian Studies Center.
