The Song Of Hiawatha
I had heard of Hiawatha but never understood the meaning and depth of this great poem. It is a delight to read and share with anyone from the age of 6 upwards. The story deserves to be read and re-read time and time again. It has many truths and hidden meanings that cannot be ignored. I took great pleasure in reading this book to my 9 year old son whilst explaining it's meanings and reminissing of my own experiences. Although this book is primarily for Americans as it is about their history - it is also a good book on which to ponder for us Brits. The memories of this tale will stay with me and my son for ever.

Very worthwhile
This is a wonderful poem. I am reading to my nine year old daughter and I cannot explain how spellbinding it is for us both. The explainations I am required to give to explain the text have us communicating to a depth we rarely manage in other day-to-day settings. Like a previous review states, the memories this poem has given us will last forever. If you want to really get in touch with your children, read them this.

Hiawatha
Many of us have read excerpts from Hiawatha but I wanted to put those excerpts into context. This edition is easy to read, with some explanation of the text. Very enjoyable and educational.
