Who hurt you? – Pew pew! Pew pew! – Clear as crystal. – It even looks like you’re moving from level to level in a video game! Poor little lions. I do, however, know quite a bit about Space Invaders. – I cannot say that I know anything about Pueblo culture.
For you kids out there, here’s what it actually looked like. – Here are the orange and black endpapers we’re referring to: Horning’s Horn Book article Arrow to the Sun and Critical Controversies is a piece I cribbed (read: stole) from heavily for this podcast episode. – I’m still a little shocked about the lack of information on the Wikipedia entry for this book. Listen to the whole show here on Soundcloud or download it through iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or your preferred method of podcast selection. Meanwhile, Kate gets confused about the actual storytelling itself, and I cannot get over how a book from 1974 looks this much like a video game. In this post-Thanksgiving episode we give as much of the history of this book as possible, all thanks to the work of K.T. Seems like Arrow to the Sun is the natural complement to those two, don’t you think? Kate and I haven’t dug deep into a book with racist issues in a while, and we’ve never done any books where white folks told the stories of American Indians. We did Tikki Tikki Tembo and Little Black Sambo.
