In the last of the Caribous Song trilogy, we find Joe and Cody ice fishing with their mama and papa. They had a nice picnic with the fish that they caught earlier. After eat their fill and cleaning up, Joe and Mama get into the dog sled for a nap while Papa and Cody fish. Papa and Cody were setting up the fish net when all of a sudden the sled dogs woke up. They smelled a stranger, a fox. They barked and growled and took off with Mama and Joe still in the sled.
Mama dug is her heals into the snow to try to slow the sled down but Joe thought it was fun. Want to know the outcome? Read the book.
I really enjoyed the entire trilogy but especially the adventure in the Fox On the Ice. Tomson Highway really knows how to weave a great story that both kids and parents can enjoy together. Brian Deines was the illustrator for the series and made the characters come to life on the page. Highly recommended!

Sounds wonderful…and reminds me how much I miss children’s books now that the girls are all teens.
Have you ever read his adult stuff?
JoAnn, you can still read them. I don’t have kids but I like to see whats out there. I also like recommending books, so why not books for kids.
John, I just found out about him through Heather at Books and Quilts. I have not read any of his adult books yet. Have you? If so, do suggest any?
I haven’t, but I really want to read his play “The Rez Sisters.”
