The Comanche Indians

by Bill Lund
Published by Capstone Press 1997
Reading level 2-
24 Pages
Genre: Non-Fiction

Summary:
These Indians are a fun part of our history. We learn that they still live here in the US. Most live in Texas and Oklahoma. We see many different types of pictures as we read. First there are some from modern day, while others are black and white, and very old. This book tells us how they live in tepees, what they eat, how they dress, and what their skill sets are. We even learn that they did not originate in the South but came from the Shoshone Indians in Idaho. In the end, we learn to play a game and speak a little of their language. The text is very informational and clear.

Reaction:
This was a fun book to read because I have a little Native American in my line. It was clear and too the point and an interesting read.

Potential Problems:
The pictures are a little graphic, and even a little scary. But informational.

Recommendations:
I think this is a fun reference book and would be good to teach the history of Pre-America.
