Editorial Reviews
Inuit authors Dorothy and David Aglukark share their knowledge of caribou in this striking volume. Educators will find this a valuable resource for student research and independent reading, and even as a read-aloud. This well-organized resource makes information accessible to young researchers, with a table of contents, manageable two-page spreads for each topic, beautifully detailed illustrations, and text features such as labels and a diagram. The clearly written text respects readers with relevant content vocabulary. The variety of sentence length and structure, along with age-appropriate richness of language, makes for an enjoyable read-aloud. Information about past and present uses of caribou, as well as hunting practices, will guide students in learning about the historical and current importance of the caribou to Inuit life.
