Title: An Interesting Read
Review: I read this for a college course on children's literature, so I'm not exactly a part of the book's target audience, but I find the snarky review above unjustified. God help the poor pitiful humans in the 1930s for not being politically correct enough to please the Horn Book's reviewing staff. And I guess religious values and a respect for nature is now to be dismissed pejoratively as "mysticism."I thought the book was an interesting read, if, sure, a bit dated. It's all the more interesting because the life it depicts -- life on the Navajo Res before the coming of paved roads, is slipping away from living memory.
Is the review positive or negative?
