ReviewsThe sometimes-frightening creatures should easily hit the spot for kids who like scary stories . . ., "This catalogue of supernatural Inuit beings is quintessential Canadiana for fans of the scary or strange. In brief paragraphs, Christopher describes the Mahahaa (messy hair; sharp fingernails; tickles people to death), Iqallijuq (creates char with his magical axe -- but also uses it to hack at anyone who sees him) and many more beings who "are thought to still be out on the land, hiding and waiting for an unsuspecting person to wander close." Renowned Inuit artist Arnaktauyok illustrates each one with smooth tints and stylized postures reflecting traditional Inuit art, emphasizing a bizarre otherworldliness that suits the subject perfectly." -- The Toronto Star, Renowned Inuit artist Arnaktauyok illustrates each one with smooth tints and stylized postures reflecting traditional Inuit art, emphasizing a bizarre otherworldliness that suits the subject perfectly., "The sometimes-frightening creatures should easily hit the spot for kids who like scary stories . . ."--Publishers Weekly, While possibly frightening for young readers, it will be welcomed by anyone fascinated by Arctic culture., "Renowned Inuit artist Arnaktauyok illustrates each one with smooth tints and stylized postures reflecting traditional Inuit art, emphasizing a bizarre otherworldliness that suits the subject perfectly."--Toronto Star, "While possibly frightening for young readers, it will be welcomed by anyone fascinated by Arctic culture."--Winnipeg Free Press, "Neil Christopher's details of these twenty creatures are given substance with Germaine Arnaktauyok's bold artwork in its earthy tones of browns, greys and taupes, and cold water blues."--CanLit for Little Canadians, "While possibly frightening for young readers, it will be welcomed by anyone fascinated by Arctic culture." --Winnipeg Free Press"Neil Christopher's details of these twenty creatures are given substance with Germaine Arnaktauyok's bold artwork in its earthy tones of browns, greys and taupes, and cold water blues." --CanLit for Little Canadians"The sometimes-frightening creatures should easily hit the spot for kids who like scary stories . . ." --Publishers Weekly"Renowned Inuit artist Arnaktauyok illustrates each one with smooth tints and stylized postures reflecting traditional Inuit art, emphasizing a bizarre otherworldliness that suits the subject perfectly." --Toronto Star
