Longfellow's poem `The Song of Hiawatha' has long been a favourite classic. In this stunning picture book Susan Jeffers has chosen some of the most lyrical verses describing Hiawatha's childhood, showing Hiawatha learning the secrets of animals, the names of the stars, and preparing to become the leader of his people. The beautiful illustrations and captivating, rhythmic text will bring this memorable poem alive for every child. (Suitable for ages 6-9, although younger children will also enjoy talking about the pictures, and having the story paraphrased for them.) 30pp, 243mm x 304mm, softback, illus. in colour, 1994
