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

32 pp. | Alaska | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-88240-886-6 $16.99
(2) K-3 When "chunks of ice as big as houses" jam on their passage to the sea, Kumak and his neighbors perch on their roofs in the warm spring air while the river rises around their houses. Children rejoice in a school-free day, and the cheery line and watercolor vistas of smiling Iñupiat, dogs, and gulls enjoying their adventure are a fine match for the well-paced text.
Reviewer: Joanna Rudge Long | Horn Book Magazine Issue: March, 2013
