Summary: not as good as Grandmother's Pigeon
Comment: The Range Eternal is Louise Erdrich's second children's book (the first being Grandmother's Pigeon). The story Erdrich tells is one of family and tradition (and an old stove). The story is told simply and well, and it is peppered with Native American legend and tradition. For this reason, I wonder if the book would not be better suited to Native children more than non-Native children. I have read Erdrich's novels, so I have a passing familiarity with terms like "Windigo", but I'm not sure most non-Native children would and this might confuse them.
While I am a fan of Erdrich's other work (including the young adult novel: The Birchbark House), this isn't a book that I would be excited to read to my children (when I have some). It isn't quite as accessible or has a simplistic enough feel to it. Maybe I'm not giving children enough credit, but I would recommend something like Alison McGhee's "Countdown to Kindergarten" over this one. Instead of this, you might want to give Erdrich's first children's book, "Grandmother's Pigeon", a try. It's much better.

Summary: Gorgeous book!
Comment: The illustrations in this book are gorgeous! The pictures flow and fill out the story. Children will be drawn into every page. The book is a wonderful tale of family life, responsibilities and the value of tradition. I put it on my list to buy for my niece and nephew.
