I’ve come to take you a storybook trip—
All through the desert of purple and rose,
And into the cañons of little cliff folk,
And up the steep trail to the mesa high,
Where people are waiting you’d love to know.
Are your ears set straight and your eyes just right?
Then come—Little Friend—let’s go!

| Nah-tee | Frontispiece |
| PAGE | |
| Quietly, like a little mouse, Nah-tee began to move in her tree | 11 |
| On—on they flew—just ahead of the storm | 37 |
| Nah-tee jumped 1n little circles all the way round the fire | 49 |
| “You go now like a mountain sheep,” Nah-tee cried | 72 |
| “Look for the holes in the rock to put your hands and feet in,” directed Moyo | 89 |
| “Did you take away any of those blue stones?” asked the old man | 111 |
| “The eagle would hear his cry and drop down at his feet.” | 127 |
| Nah-tee had, with the happy feeling, a sorry one | 153 |
| It looked as if a town had planted itself at the foot of the mesa | 185 |
| There was no kindness in his face | 193 |
| The dance of the Little Katchinas was only for children | 209 |
| “My burro will not move,” cried the fat one | 241 |
| And they went faster up the trail | 255 |
