Little Runner of the Longhouse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
An excellent choice for a beginning reader or for reading aloud to a small child. It is especially appropriate for children living in parts of the country where maple sugaring is done, but every child will identify with the idea of "all the maple sugar they can eat."
Childhood memory...

I remember this book from when I was a little kid. I clearly remember the story - the older bother exploring the many ways he could get his hands on some maple sugar. I also remember the cool, yet simple, pictures that graced the inside pages. My mother must have red the book to me a thousand times and that is why I just had to have a copy of my own. I might even give it to my nephews. Maybe not. ^_^ I don't remember the book having any BAD influence on me. I never tried to kidnap my bother, I never tried to blackmail my parents, I never mishandled museum objects at the museum I work at and I never tried to hunt down deer to trade their skins for a tiny canoe. This is a simple story for kids to enjoy. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

A favorite from my childhood. Glad to see it's still around even if it doesn't sit well with everyone.
Little Runner of the Longhouse is one of my favorite books.

When I was younger I really liked my dad to read this book to me. Now that I am almost 8 I can read it to myself. I like Little Runner because he is funny and tries really hard to get maple sugar. It also shows the ways of the Indians long ago. I like the part when he steals his little brother and hides him the best
