Barely about the books & more about an agenda.
These books were my first box set at age 8. I read them many times & never once thought about racism, lack of government support or poverty.

As for poverty, most people were maybe monetarily poor at that time but lived fulfilling lives just the same. It was a different time and acting like your ideas and language of today should apply to books written 200 years ago is self centered and asinine. Were things perfect? Absolutely not. But to lay this all on a series of CHILDREN’S books is absurd.

I’m also an enrolled Cherokee citizen and except for a paragraph in our Oklahoma history book that covered the Trail of Tears,...Read full review »
