A Customer said Ancient Harvest. What a great idea! The cover is what caught my eye in the bookstore, but the content won me over. I bought several to give to the children of my friends. Not only do the children have fun by coloring the really cool illustrations, but they actually learn something about plants and wildlife and how early Native Americans live from the land. I highly recommend this book for any child that loves to color.
