Es excelente
A mi me encargaban leer libros en la primaria... Y entre nuestros compañeros nos prestabamos los libros que teníamos... Lamentablemente en español casi no hay libros aptos para niños y este libro es uno de los pocos que yo pude leer y que me prestaron que es excelente para los niños... Se los recomiendo ampliamente... Esta muy bonito y muy entretenido...

Thought provoking
Never would one expect the stories of one man's erection be so thought provoking. I would recommend the book to all my students to read for the intellectual and philosophical aspects its has. The author has done a great job of turning the ordinary, evryday sphicter into an enormous source of pride for all men.


Coyote: A Trickster Tale from the American Southwest
Published in School & Library Binding by Harcourt Children's Books (October, 1994)
Author: Gerald McDermott
Average review score:

A great book about a funny coyote!
I like it because when the Coyote meets some birds he wants to fly with, all the birds give him one of their right feathers, but he didn't balance. So they each gave him left feathers, but he still didn't balance. And the reason he didn't balance was because he needed one left feather and one right feather. - AMD, Age 7.


Creatures, Critters & Crawlers of the Southwest
Published in Paperback by University of New Mexico Press (August, 1996)
Authors: April Kopp, Arnold Vigil, and Richard C. Sandoval
Average review score:

"Creatures" a Creative and Colorful Effort
Ms. Kopp finds something to love about all her subjects, from the "loveable beast" of a black bear to the "hairy, scary and misunderstood" taratula. With her wit and way with words she brings New Mexico's wild inhabitants to life. When and if we do encounter any of them, we'll be ready with increased understanding and appreciation. I'm looking forward to reading this book to my grandsons.


Crossing the Pond: The Native American Effort in World War II (War and the Southwest Series)
Published in Hardcover by University of North Texas Press (April, 1999)
Author: Jere Bishop Franco
Average review score:

An enjoyable, informative account of Native warriors
Jere' Franco has illustrated the sacrifice and important contributions Native Americans have made to the war effort, both in combat and on the home front. This book highlights the fact that despite centuries of warfare and oppression, Native Americans revitalized the warrior code and demonstrated their patriotism by fighting for the same U.S. Government their forefathersopposed. The photos capture the faces of the dedication and purpose Indians brought to the war effort, and Franco's writing reflects the extensive research she invested into telling this important, but often neglected, segment of history. Of unique interest to me was was how the Third Reich attempted to sway Native Americans against the American government, even to the extent of declaring the Sioux Nation "Aryan" and promising to repatriate the annexed lands back to native people should they rebel against their country. The cultural observances Indian people remark on in the course of the war are particularly intriguing, and following the reading of the book one is left with a profoundly-lasting appreciation of Native people and the role they played in protecting the interests of their nation. Whether your interest is in Indian culture, military history, anthropology, government reforms, or international relations, Crossing the Pond displays all of these elements in telling detail and challenges the assumption that Indian people have not contributed to America's security. In fact, given their consecutively high-enlistment rates in the military across the 20th Century, many have given their lives to protect the land and values of the ancestors. A wonderful book and an appropriate tribute to Native veterans.


Crow and Hawk
Published in School & Library Binding by Harcourt (March, 1995)
Authors: Michael Rosen and John Clementson
Average review score:

Good Stuff.
This book reveals how modern adoption suits should be handled. The answer was plain, simple, and correct--how ironic that the bird which symbolizes America could see it so easily.


Cuisine of the American Southwest
Published in Hardcover by Gulf Publishing (August, 1995)
Author: Anne Lindsay Greer
Average review score:

Extremely tasty receipes.
Every single receipe I've tried (and it's a lot of them) is a real palate pleaser. It's my main cooking tool for Southwestern and Mexican cooking.

Published in Hardcover by Texas A&M University Press (January, 2001)
Author: Keith L., Jr. Bryant
Average review score:

Comprehensive and Enjoyable
Reaching back centuries and moving forward to the present day, Bryant's text details the development of the Southwestern cultural scene in an immensely readable fashion. The enormous impact of women, both as contributors and as patrons, in the building of and continued growth of the arts throughout Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and California, receives particular attention. An informative and highly enjoyable book!

Dam That River, Ecology & Settlement on the Little Colorado
This work provides information that is detailed and well presented. Many historical volumes deal with one or two issues while Mr. Abruzzi has defined settlement, ecology, and development of the Little Colorado Basin and included detailed analyses of the contributing factors. Anyone interested in the history or ecology of the area will find here a reference that eclipses other books on the subject.
