I have been happily going through as much Inhabit Media content as I can get my hands on, and this is my latest grab from the library. The Giant Bear is not my first go at a story about a nanurluk, as Inhabit Media has published other stories about them, but I definitely enjoyed it. Jose Angutingunrik is a wonderful storyteller here, and brings the tale to life. The illustrations are great. I generally prefer them (children's books, illustrations, nanurluit stories) to be a little less graphic than this one got, but it wasn't senseless, and it didn't hinder my enjoyment of it.
Definitely enjoyed this. Recommended for all ages (provided the individual kid can handle blood from the nanurluk's face injuries).

My son is obsessed with monsters and I hoped he would like this book, but at the point when the hunter closed the aglu my son asked to stop reading. He hates the build up of suspense combined with hunting. He is too sensitive about animals to read stories with hunting. Ironically this same week we tried to read Paul Galdone's Puss in Books and again when he realized that the cat was killing things for bragging rights he lost interest. So I enjoyed it, some kids may not.
