One of the 4 year old girls asked that I read to them Arrow to the Sun by Gerald McDermot. The children seemed to be okay with the story, but it was not as engaging as it could be. I think it was a little hard for them to follow, maybe it would be easier for older children. I like that the illustrations in the book are similar to the art style used by traditionally by puebloan people, however, I think the colors and the lines are a bit too harsh. It hurts my eyes to look at it. I would use the book again in the classroom or if we are studying mythology or folklore.
