An imposing line of caribou stretches for miles across the frozen tundra
of Alaska. The sound of clicking hooves echoes through the air as the
herd follows its centuries-old migration route. With their thick coats
and their padded, shovel-like hooves, caribou are ideally adapted to
their snowbound environment, and this lively children's book explores
their habits and habitat--as well as the dangers that await the young
and old--along this ancient trail. Writer Debbie Miller and artist Jon
Van Zyle are keen naturalists and the premier duo in Alaska children's
literature, and this beautifully-illustrated appreciation of the caribou
brings this stately mammal alluringly to life.
