The Eskimo Twins, Illustrated Edition (Yesterday's Classics)

We watch the twins as they spot a polar bear while coasting on their sleds, then join with the villagers in the sharing of the meat and the feasting afterwards. Among the other activities they enjoy are ice fishing, building a snow house, hunting for seals, and traveling by boat to their summering ground where they catch salmon to dry for the winter. Children are captivated by the humor and playfulness in this community where the winter night lasts for four long months! Suitable for ages 6 and up.

Über den Autor
Before Lucy Fitch Perking would publish a story, she would firstread it to a group of children she knew, to see what they would sayabout the story. This group included her son Lawrence, his cousinsand playmates.The first story they listened to was The Dutch Twins. Since thechildren in the select group liked it, she published the book, and soondiscovered that many more children loved her story. As a result shewrote even more Twins books, which more than two million copieswere sold around the world.These books have since gone out of print. However, the storiesshe told are still relevant today, and it would truly be a tragedy for thechildren of today to miss these wonderful stories.Bluewater Publications is proud to republish her stories, which webelieve will truly enrich the lives and educations of out children.
