What reviewers said
Illustrations in earth tones portray life on the tundra, offering authentic touches that Alaskans will relish.
This Yup'ik tale, like many stories of this native Alaskan tribe, entertains as well as instructs about conduct in a northern environment where obedience to directions often determines survival. Softly colored drawings accent the humor and also capture summertime on the tundra.
…fine, fun illustrations. The hungry, rather stupid giant is wonderfully ugly and fierce-looking in a friendly sort of way.
A masterful retelling that combines rich, lively language that reads aloud well and colorful, detailed illustrations. A welcome addition to folk-tale collections.
Wonderfully appealing in every way.
