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.

My great grandfather is Indian.

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.

Informative with great illuatrations. I did find that the writing is a bit too simplified and sort of talks down to children. But it is still a nice book. I preferred Pictureback's North American Indians, which is richer in content, for the same age of child.

Good book for toddler who loves deer season and fishing!

This is a soft book but it tells a good story beautiful illustrations.

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

For my granddaughter to read.

Good research book

Lovely informative book my grandson will enjoy the read.

I bought the paperback version. A smaller and thinner book than I expected but useful for our topic work, as shows many different types of Native Americans. And at just over £3, it's a good value resource. I also bought the Cowboys book which is a similar format.

Very interesting for younger kids, great layout !
