Nanook Pryce

Breakfast break puffins pass Giant wake Bye-bye bass Round and round warning bark Fearless hound Scaredy sharks Two oblivious fishermen and an intrepid dog who scares away sharks star in this cleverly written, whimsically illustrated story with a subtle environmental message. Nanook, Pryce, and Yukon go out ice fishing for breakfast one morning when the next thing they know, they are adrift on the high seas. The accidental tourists escape sharks (or are the sharks escaping them?) and giant squid, wriggle out of fishnets, dodge hungry pelicans, and inadvertently partake in all kinds of adventures. Ages: 3 - 8

Parka-clad friends Nanook and Pryce and their dog Yukon encounter many different types of ocean life and adventure on an unexpected voyage.
