The Polar Bear Son
An Inuit Tale

When the men of the village grow jealous of the animal's superior hunting ability and decide to kill it, she sends it away. . . . Illustrated in muted pastel colors, the pictures capture this stark, yet beautiful, winter world" ("School Library Journal"). Full color.
