Description

When two rabbit sisters ignore their parents' warnings and decide to play outside on the open tundra, a hungry owl soon spots them and decides they will make a delicious meal. As a chase ensues, the sisters must act quickly, using the owl's own greed against him in order to get away.

A traditional Inuit story and cautionary tale, this book presents a centuries-old narrative for a new generation of readers.
