Mayan and Aztec Mythology

Michael Schuman. Enslow Publishers, 2001.

Fairly good introduction to the Popul Vuh: this book seems geared toward a teenage audience and probably would be a good textbook for Junior High Schoolers: it has introductory notes to each chaper plus review Q&A afterwards. Literarily, offers nothing new to the stories - simply seems like an overview/outline of the tales with some causal commentary on the culture that produced them.
