Trade ReviewA masterful retelling that combines rich, lively language that reads aloud well and colorful, detailed illustrations. A welcome addition to folk-tale collections. * School Library Journal *
…fine, fun illustrations. The hungry, rather stupid giant is wonderfully ugly and fierce-looking in a friendly sort of way. * Nayec Reviewers Choice *
Wonderfully appealing in every way. * Kirkus (Starred Review) *
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. * Booklist *
Illustrations in earth tones portray life on the tundra, offering authentic touches that Alaskans will relish. * Library Talk *
