The Legend of the Bluebonnet Review

Title: The Legend of the Bluebonnet
Retold by: Tomie DePaola
Published by: G.P Putnam's Sons, 1983
ISBN: 0-399-20937-9

This book is an old Native American tale about why there are bluebonnets in Texas. It tells about a little girl who sacrificed what she loved most to save her people.

This tale is very nicely retold by DePaola and it is a great story of why flowers grow in Texas every year! It also has a nice moral at the end.

I would give this book a 5 out of 5 and would recommend it to all children and families alike. It is a fun tale and it teaches kids that sometimes you have to give up the things you do not want to give up in order to help other people.
