    She is always the first on the dancefloor and the very last to stop boogying. She has never tried to dress like a Parisian, never followed advice on what not to wear, and certainly has never tried to tone down her natural pinkness; she knows he is perfect just the way she is.

    Instead of staying closer to her, he makes trouble with a polar bear and a group of snow bunnies.

The Naughty Penguin is a story that teaches children to listen to their parents.

    Through the long winter, the two young boys dance and play the kitoochigan (a much better sounding name for what those of us living further south call an accordion). Then, one spring day while following the ateek (caribou), the family pauses on an island where, on a great rock surrounded by a meadow, Joe and Cody receive a wonderful glimpse of the spirit world. Told both in English and Cree, this tale by playwright and novelist Tomson Highway of a vanishing way of life might seem too sparsely drawn at first, but it is this very quality that aligns it to the vast scale and rhythm of the North and its peoples. Mythic and poetic, Caribou Song is the first book in a planned trilogy entitled Songs of the North Wind. One imagines reading this story out loud by a crackling fire, a perfect setting to amplify the story's evocative power. Borrowing from the diverse visual worlds of Ice Age cave paintings and French impressionism, illustrator Brian Deines wraps the narrative in a densely luminous northern world. (Ages 4 to 8) --Martha Johnson

    He found it on Blackfish Sound ("Blackfish" is the Kwakiutl Indian word for the killer whale) in the Inside Passage, the rugged coastline between Seattle and Alaska. Leaving his home in Aspen, which had become a false Shangri-La for him, Modzelewski settled on a desolate island in the Inside Passage, a place which "after seducing you with beauty would shake you with fear. An unpredictable place that kept you always prepared, honed to the keen edge of life." Here he lived alone for months on end. Inside Passage describes his experiences in this unspoiled setting, where the sky is his ceiling, mountains are his walls, and physical challenges test him down to the marrow. He also forms unusual friendships with passing yachters, salmon fishermen, Kwakiutl Indians, loners, and the owner of the house he is staying at, Will Malloff, a man of oversized personality -- a healer, builder, woodsman, and thinker. Modzelewski writes with a love for nature and gentle humor about his interactions with the native animals (eagles, whales, wolves), local animals (cats, dogs, "tame" wild boars), and other settlers. Inside Passage is the powerful story of one man learning the ways of self-reliance in a soul-filled search through the northern wilderness.

    Wild animals burst from every page with a chance to learn something new about each one!
