Cumulative tale. I wonder how accurate this portrayal of Native Americans is. I suspect not very. The illustrations were fine, but nothing spectacular.

The art was cute and cozy. The story was written during WWII.

It is telling a story about the importance of education. There are a few good messages in this book. The book is a mixed bag. I enjoyed the story and the art and there were some things that bothered me as a modern reader. So, I don't know exactly how to think of it.

My nephew thought the ending was hilarious with the bear. He said it was good.

A young Native American boy has a number of adventures. While the illustrations are lovely, in that early 20th illustration way, the tone is insane--very pejorative about Native Americans. Not ideal for today's kids.
