Great Info about Hoodoos!

About: Vivian and the Legend of the Hoodoos is a childrenâs fiction picture book written by Terry Catasús Jennings. It was recently released for sale on 2/10/17 by Arbordale Publishing, 32 pages. This book is intended for kids ages 4-8. Arbordale Publishingâs mission is to inspire the love of reading and improve young childrenâs science and math skills through picture books. These books will captivate your kidsâ minds on your lap, at bedtime, or in the classroom. Please see below for more info about the author.

My Experience: I started reading Vivian and the Legend of the Hoodoos on 2/11/17 as a bedtime story for my 5 year-old son and we finished it that same night. We have never heard of the legend of the hoodoos before or the term Hoodoo and itâs a learning experience for both my son and I. The story follows Vivian and her grandma climbing up the mesa to harvest pine nuts for the winter. Grandma reminding Vivian to ask the treesâ permission before picking its fruits. There is a legend that Grandma often tells Vivian about the Old Ones, who ate everything in their path and not save it for others and they were invited to attend a feast but instead got tricked and punished into rocky hoodoos.

This book and the story of the legend of Hoodoos is fiction. Grandma and Vivian are people of Paiute culture. They live in the high desert and stayed on mesas, plateaus, and mountains. They live dependent on the land, animals, and fruit trees. Grandma teaches Vivian to respect the land and to leave things where it is, such as pottery sherd because things from long ago are sacred. The back of the book gives us facts about the Paiutes culture and further details of the history of the people. I also like the detail explanation about what Hoodoo really mean and how water shapes the rock. I was a bit confused reading this story because I donât know if the story of Paiute people is in the current day (2017) or in the 1800s. I was only clear of what the story is about after I read the facts at the end of the book.

Pro: hoodoo, respect the land, Paiute culture, canyon, history, erosion, legends

Con: the story should indicate what year the story is based in

I rate it 5 stars!

Storytellers will Enjoy Reading the Book to Kids

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I gifted this audiobook to a friend with small children. They were traveling across country and the entire family enjoyed the narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite characters were Miss Bitterpenny and Miss Wobblefloss. Their story titled "Hootenfloot Flies the Coop" about a lost owl reads similar to a Dr. Seuss story.

Which character as performed by Elaine Ambrose Romano was your favorite?

The boy named Adam in the story titled "The Birthday Boy - the author definitely knew him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed at the antics in all of the seven stories. There were a few tears shed in the story titled "Mama I've Had a Bad Day" about a sick child and how a mother used a scrapbook to cheer her family.

Any additional comments?

I'm eager for the print edition to be released in the spring.

Beautiful short story

Beautiful short story! The real story about The Little Mermaid, not the sappy Disney version. Full of virtue. The illustration are also beautiful.

Love this version

Although the newer Disney version is one of my favorite fairy tales, I have always had a special place in my heart for the original Hans Christian Andersen version of The Little Mermaid. I remember watching the cartoon version of this story as a child and I loved the bittersweet ending.

I am very glad to be able to add this book to my collection.

Love.

The classic little mermaid without Disney's version which is a lot darker.

Love.

Pleased with purchase
