Description
In each new adventure, Putuguq and Kublu learn about an element of Inuit mythology from their Elders, sometimes using what they learn to get the best of each other!
Putuguq and Kublu are at their grandparents’ house for lunch—caribou stew, Putuguq’s favourite! Putuguq’s worn out (and stinky!) kamiik remind his grandparents of the story of the amautalik and the orphan, a traditional story about a little orphan who outsmarts a child-stealing ogress. Grandmother’s storytelling over lunch starts Putuguq’s imagination running wild . . . .
After lunch, Putuguq and Kublu decide to act out the story their grandmother has just told. But, for Putuguq, this is no ordinary play. He is determined to prove his fearlessness to an unsuspecting Kublu . . . with a little help from his stinky socks!

Editorial Reviews
"Putuguq & Kublu and the Attack of the Amautalik! is a superb addition to a delightful series that delivers knowledge and adventure in equal measure. Highly Recommended."—CM: Canadian Review of Materials
Putuguq and Kublu are visiting their grandparents, and Putuguq’s smelly socks remind his grandparents of a Traditional Story about the amautalik, an ogress who carries away children that she finds wandering the land. The element of surprise helps scare the amautalik into leaving the children alone. This book is part of the Putuguq & Kublu series, and it was voted ALA Best Graphic Novel 2022. In every book, their grandparents give them Inuit Teachings, and this one is about paying attention to your surroundings.
