Booklist Review

Reviewed with Marian Broida's Projects about Colonial Life0 . Gr. 3-5. The new Hands-On History series fits the bill both for teachers wanting to liven up American history units and for creative kids entranced by yesteryear. Don't be put off by the slightly washed-out illustrations on the book covers; the material inside is much slicker, and there are plenty of full-color diagrams, photos, and illustrations. Each title features about 10 simple, satisfying projects, divided into three main sections: northern, middle, and southern colonies in Colonial Life; "0 Ancient Pueblo People," "The Navajo," and "The Hopi and Zuni" in American Indians. 0 Most of the activities are introduced with a lively you-are-there narrative, so readers can readily imagine themselves in another time and place as they tackle projects such as preparing hasty pudding, making a quill pen, sculpting Zuni-style fetishes, or learning bits of the Navajo code used in World War II. A glossary, further readings, and Internet resources round out each volume. --Jennifer Mattson Copyright 2004 Booklist

School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-7-The setup surrounding these "you are there" books seems rather corny. "Listen. Can you hear a herd of buffalo thundering across the vast grasslands of the Great Plains?" Following several pages of introductions to these tribes, including a map, the author briefly explains the craft, and then gives instructions. The directions and supplies are clearly presented with ample white space around each step. Some of the supplies aren't necessarily found in every household, such as a plastic horse, "5-12 inches long from nose to tail"; Sculpey; winter squash; dwarf sunflower seeds with instructions; or an ear of corn with the husk. Photos of the people and their crafts and reproductions of historical events appear throughout. The informational material contains some unfortunate comments. A caption in Plains refers to a woman in one photograph as a "squaw." Southwest includes the sentence, "[Y]ou would be walking in the footprints of people who lived long before history began." History has been around since the dawn of humankind; it just wasn't written down in sentences. As craft books, these titles are reasonably effective. As informational sources, they leave a lot to be desired.-S K Joiner, Brazoria County Library System, Angleton, TX (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review

These books provide clear instructions for making a variety of items related to American Indians. Most projects use accessible materials but do require adult assistance. Maps, illustrations of varying quality, and archival photographs combine with a superficial text to explain the significance of the featured craft. Limited historical information makes these supplements to existing collections. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
