Customer Reviews

Really enjoy this one
This is a great "A,B,C" book. It is sort of like "I spy with my little eye..." there are all sorts of things hidden and not so hidden in the pictures (which are just lovely to look at). my kids and I really enjoy this book.

Great ABC book
This is a great book, I bought it for my toddlers to enjoy the alphabet and wow they never tire of it. Beautifully illustrated, I am going to recommend to all my mommy friends.

Not worthy of a single star; Waldorf can do better for its students
It may be beautiful, but it objectifies American Indians.

On the "I" page, there is an "Indian." American Indians are not animals, nor are we creatures of fantasy (the M page has mermaids).

As a professor in American Indian Studies, and as Native woman, mother, and former schoolteacher, I think this book should not be used with children.
