"Loved it. Kind of wish I had read it in school so I could discuss some of the more poignant lines. I found myself reading it aloud so I could really get the rhythm of the song going. " — Lacy (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is a wonderful introduction to famous poets such as Poe, Whitman, Longfellow, Dickinson, etc for children. "
" i spent a whole school year reading aloud to my kids from this book. many lovely poems, although i skipped the section on Poe. much of his work feels too dark and hopeless to me. "
" It was a sad and really inspiring story about indians "
" WOW. AWESOME. liove the measured beat and style........symply wonderful "
" My second grade teacher read this to me, I will never be able to forget it for as long as I live :) "
" Some of the language & imagery is beautiful, but in general I find Longfellow a bit hard to swallow. I consider this epic poem to be a wannabe Iliad. "
" A wonderful tale that spans generations and covers lands further than the eye can see. A sometimes repetitive but beautiful read. But be warned, this is extended poetry and can be tricky to swallow. "
" i really like the way the words sound and flow its great to read aloud alone in bed "Hark you, Bear! you are a coward, And no Brave, as you pretended" "
" I didn't think I would like poetry. But this ranks among my favorite pieces of literature. "
" I don't care what the literary critics think--I love te way this poem sounds. "
" Very evocative and beautiful tale of Hiawatha told with lyric imagery and a true appreciation of the Native American way of life before things changed drastically and terribly. "
" I don't like this book at all. I had to read it for school and first of all, I don't like being forced to read anything. Second, there are big words, too many hard names to remember, and it is just plain confusing. "
