Reviews
Grade 3-6 A fascinating bilingual (English-Spanish) retelling of the legend of the Miskito hunters of Nicaragua, this is also the story of the effects on indigenous peoples when strangers from outside cultures come to give advice and change traditional tribal customs. Three hunters discover a magic vine which can make them invisible. The hunters learn from the Dar (the magic vine) that if they promise to hunt only with sticks and never sell the meat, but give it to their people, they can carry pieces of the Dar and become temporarily invisible. When they no longer hold the Dar, they are visible again. This works well until two strangers arrive with gifts and want to buy the meat. The three hunters are influenced by the strangers and in time their people do not have sufficient food. One day they become invisible and cannot become visible again, having broken their promise to the Dar. Some of the Miskito people say the invisible hunters still wander by the river, calling ``Dar, Dar, Dar.'' Striking primitive illustrations in deep contrasting colors and collage dramatize the changes in the hunters. This is one of very few books for children on the folklore of this Native American tribe of Central America. Louise Yarian Zwick, Houston Public Library
