Kumak's Fish: A Tall Tale from the Far North

32 pp. | Alaska | June, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-88240-583-7 $15.95 | Paper ISBN 0-88240-584-5 $8.95
(2) K-3 Kumak loads his family onto their sled--it looks like a good day for fish. In this delightful Inupiat variant on the tale of the enormous turnip, when Kumak eventually hooks something, the whole village helps pull it in. The illustrations give a sense of the icy setting and the joyful energy of the people, and the story comes to a funny, triumphant conclusion.
