First off, the little illustrations in this book are adorable and I really enjoyed them (probably because they were about as good as I could do if I was really going to be honest about it.) For me, they really added to the story since they mentioned that the Native Americans used pictures and the oral tradition to record their days and remember things. All that said, I feel a bit let down. I think I expected more? I don't know. I did connect with Weetamoo, so that's saving this from getting a lower rating. Overall it was just okay to me. Still, I would recommend it to children. 3.5 out of 5 stars. ( ) no reviews | add a review
