PreS-Gr 2-Paul Goble's beautifully-told, Caldecott Award-winning book (S&S, 1978) receives a fine treatment in this book and tape set. It is the tale of a Native American girl whose tribe follows the buffalo. She tends the horses, and grows to love them so much that eventually she joins them. Accompanied by Native American music, the story is clearly and lovingly read by Lance White Magpie, and sound effects help bring it to life. One side of the tape includes page-turn signals, while the other does not. Audio quality is excellent. This would make a good listening center for units on Native Americans, art, or horses.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Pink Pig, a tiny carving made from rose quartz, is Amanda's only companion and a character in an imaginary worlda world that makes it possible for the girl to cope with her own life, on her own terms. PW called this ``a moving and many-faceted story about extremely well-created characters.'' (10-13)
