Tikta'liktak: An Inuit-Eskimo Legend by James A Houston
"A young hunter is trapped on an ice floe and marooned on a barren island. . . . The Eskimo survives freezing weather, an attack by a polar bear, and the long journey that brings him safely home. . . . The author's distinctive drawings help make this a memorable book."--The New York Times Book Review
