Young Blue Sky is ready to embark on his first solo hunting trip. Only whenever he comes across an animal to hunt, things don't go quite as planned. Good Hunting, Blue Sky is update on Good Hunting, Little Indian, published back in 1962. This version has been significantly revamped, updating illustrations to better maintain cultural authenticity, and removing the word “Indian” from the title. Some readers may scorn this forced “political correctness” but others will appreciate the small changes to the narrative, as it doesn't teach small children incorrect information about Native American culture. The illustrations in this version, done by James Watts, are simple and friendly looking, filled with pastel colors and curious looking animals. Blue Sky's first solo hunt is both a humorous story, and the story of a young boy coming of age. The author makes sure to emphasize his growing independence, while keeping his parents in an important role, making this book a very good selection for a newly independent reader.
