Come to a snowy land far away and meet an Inuit boy named Quiquern. He dreams of becoming a great hunter, but everyone just laughs at him because he’s so small.

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly benign, but quite forgettable tale about a young boy growing up and proving his mettle to provide for the people in his village. I wasn't sure why I had requested this book from our local library until I noticed that it had been illustrated by Nathan Hale.

I found it to be very interesting that it was one of the stories in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Overall, it's a good story, but not great.
