About the Book
Volume 5. Indian Country, 51 pages, 47 pictures.
The Chispita books are written on the premise that an adult reader can use the experiences of Pita to teach/enhance the life experiences of a growing child as well as the fun of games, puzzles and adventures that the world has to offer.
Volume five Indian Country is an adventure to the ancient dwellings and mythical lands of the south west, using an “up front motor truck with a home on the back”, (Pita’s words!)
Starting at
Chispita has a lesson about snake’s for her safety and learns that far away is good, but at Casa Grande when she hears about “Snake-Towns” with “Pit Houses and ball courts” only a Archaeologist can calm her mind.
Pow-wow’s,
Entering New Mexico we find the magnificent ruins of the Chaco Canyon culture, where the Pita Kid’s will marvel at the “Ancient Ones” Observatories, Pictographs, Great Houses and Kivas. We all laugh when Pita finds a large? Green make-believe monster, but its here at the Pueblo Alto ruins where Chispita meets and makes friends with Earl the photographer, whom she will later team with to save the day, when a old bad snake intrudes. All punctuated by graphic photos, “enjoy”
