The Book High

3.5 stars

Lots of good information in this one. Jack and Annie go back in time and spend a day with some Lakota indians. Jack's trusty research book had some great facts to share about the Indians, but they also spent some time with an Indian "grandmother" who taught them some fascinating things about their beliefs and way of life.

The adventure with the buffalo was improbable and somewhat worrisome. I grew up not far from Yellowstone National Park, and we'd visit at least once a year. So perhaps it's my perspective of having "don't go near the buffalo" ingrained into me for as long as I can remember, but their adventure seemed reckless, and the magical rescue misleading. Ugh, I sound like a grown-up...
