"For kids hitting chapter books for the first time, Pup & Pokey tells the story of a young wolf and a young porcupine who live near each other and playfully interact. . . . The artwork by Beth Hill is beautiful."
—Alaska Dispatch News
A boisterous wolf pup and an awkward young porcupine are unlikely allies in this tale of friendship set on Alaska’s tundra. When the pair are brought together by a trapper’s snare, they must learn what it means truly to be friends.
Gently inspired by the fable of The Lion and the Mouse, young readers will learn about living in the wilderness and the sometimes unexpected connections that arise in our lives. Pup and Pokey is the first children’s book from acclaimed Alaska author Seth Kantner. With Kantner’s storytelling and Beth Hill’s original illustrations, Pup and Pokey is a touching outdoor adventure story that only two Alaskans can tell.
