Children's β¦ Penny’s Take
Myths of the Native Americans
Anita Dalal Β· 2001
65/100
π Skip It
As a 48-page school library reference from a credentialed Raintree/Heinemann series, this does its introductory job reasonably well for grades four through six. The coverage of any individual nation's traditions is necessarily thin at that length, and a book published around 2001 may not reflect current best practices in how Native cultures are represented. Fine as a starting point, but families and educators should know those limitations going in.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below.
