"The books were certainly cute and included characters I can relate to, but it should be supplemented with material discussing Native American peoples at the time, as I feel like this book puts a bit of spin on history. "

"My daughter and I are starting our own reading club (she's 8) and this is her first selection. I had read them when I was little so it's been on my list of re-reads for a long time and it didn't disappoint. :)"
