Look, Grandma! Ni, Elisi! by Art Coulson
4.0
The thing about teaching, in a picture book, is to do so that the child doesn't realize that is the point of the book. This book does that, and also takes the concept of getting ready for a Cherokee celebration be park of the story as well, throwing in common Cherokee phrases, and games.
The problem, int eh book, is how to gauge volume and space, to find a container that will display the marbles that Bo has painted. He is told it has to fit on the table, but also has to take up a small footprint. So, he has to find a container that does both.
Very cool story, and you get to learn a few Cherokee words a long the way, as well as about the marble game, digadayosdi.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
