Summary: A wonderful, award-winning, classic story!
Comment: Need a heart-warming book for a quick family read-aloud night? If you appreciate the wholesome literature of the 1930's - 1960's, you'll enjoy this simple story. There is a reason it was a Newbery award-winning book! Books don't win these awards without meriting them. The previous reviewer is narrowminded if he/she can't see any value in this story. Why must everything in today's libraries be sooooo "politically correct"? I'd like to think our children are intelligent enough to understand how historical writing has changed over time. Fifty years from now you'll be able to pick out today's "new" literature for being so pretentiously biased. The Courage of Sarah Noble will still remain a classic, regardless.

Summary: Silly and Outdated
Comment: This book reflects a 1950s approach to images of Native Americans, who apparently had little cultural sophistication except for rudimentary skills like weaving baskets. They also got a kick out of carrying little white girls on their shoulders through the forest. "Tall John" is one "Indian's" name. How funny is that??!! Sarah is a hero for "teaching" the Indians. How nice!! One can list about 50 stereotypes in this silly book. ... One can only chuckle (or get angry) to see that this book is actually being used in elementary classrooms today. If you buy it, be prepared to fall off your chair from laughing so hard.
