Nutik and Amaroq Play Ball

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rand. When Amaroq, a young Eskimo boy, follows Nutik, his pet wolf pup, out onto the tundra in search of his football taken by the village pranksters, he gets lost. But Nutik's good nose finds not only the ball but the way home again. The intense colors in the pastel and painted illustrations depict the northern Alaskan summer in this story featuring characters from the Julie of the Wolves books.
