COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Learning in a Tiny Alaskan Village submitted by am_nich21 on August 14, 2023, 2:47pm This is a really excellent book about growing up in 1940s Alaska. It also does a good job showing the differences in school and teaching for readers, as well as showing a way of life many young readers will not have encountered before. I would highly recommend this book as a read together for kids 6-8, and as a solo read for older kids.
