Tuktuk: Tundra Tale
by Robin Currie (Author) and Phyllis Saroff (Illustrator)
Booktalk: When one furry kamik (boot) slips off an Inuit driver’s sled, Tuktuk is in luck! But as he drags it home, Putak the polar bear, Aput the arctic fox, and Masak the caribou eye this little lemming’s prize and want it for their own. Can Tuktuk outwit the other animals and convince them that one furry kamik is no good for anyone bigger than a lemming?
Snippet: Tuktuk wanted that furry kamik. As the last rays of the setting Arctic sun glittered in his little lemming eyes, he said, “Putak, you are right. You need this furry kamik. I think you should put it on your . . . nose.”
“Really?” said Putak. He pressed his face into the kamik until it stuck.
