I read this book to a grade 5 Learning Strategies class in Edmonton. The students LOVED it! Without prompting many of my students have incorporated Mishbee and John into their writing. It has been a wonderful way to discuss Aboriginal and European relations. As we continue to learn Canadian history we are able to make comparisons to the events of the story. I highly recommend it!
