nicolelynn said: I can imagine that some children have difficulty pronouncing some of the names in the story, but this is good to improve reading through sounding out words. I also liked how well things were explained by the author through the narrative and Awasin. For example, explaining that “caribou were a kind of reindeer found in the high arctic in immense herds” (p.13). Not only can children get caught up in the adventure of the story, but they can learn about this culture.
