Chispita Service Dog Extraordinaire: Volume 5. Indian Country.

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 (Pitas words!) Starting at Tucson Arizona the adventure takes our Pita Kids north thru Arizona Utah and New Mexico to marvel at the histories and mythologies of the Anasazi Mogollon Hohokam and Acoma peoples. Chispita has a lesson about snakes 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-wows Grand Canyons and Dinosaur tracks are but a few of the wonders to entertain her Pita Kids as the adventure proceeds north. At Monument Valley a side trip by horseback to the Betatakin ruins and Mystery Valley are the highlight of this area. Traveling on to Canyon De Chelly we are mystified by Wind people Spider Woman and Anasazi mythologies. Entering New Mexico we find the magnificent ruins of the Chaco Canyon culture where the Pita Kids 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
