These stories are a wonderful way for children to explore one of nature's most fascinating mysteries-the instinctive compulsion for animals to migrate over large distances. With poetic text and stunning illustrations, these tales evoke the majestic environments that each animal inhabits. Many animals seek out safe or warm places to have their young, but caribou walk hundreds of miles north into the most barren and hostile landscape-a safe place where their predators can't survive. Ragged Ear and Soft Ear walk through sharp winds, cross rivers, and trudge through snow to get to the calving grounds where Long Leg is finally born safely.
