BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Tom and Will want to be trackers like their grandfathers. But when Uncle tells them the story of the Windigo they have second thoughts. The Windigo is the Wandering Night Spirit of Winter and is a thing to be feared. The boys can barely sleep that night, and after something passes their window, they decide to investigate the next morning. Richly illustrated in mixed media, Waboose weaves a story of respect for nature and family. The boy's insistence of their bravery is countered by their natural fear of the unknown - and the stories they have heard. A great read for a stormy winter night. Beware of the Windigo!
