Kokum, Are These Moose Tracks?: Celebrating Fall [Hardcover]

Young readers will get ready for autumn on a moose tracking adventure with Joshua and Kokum.

When the harvest begins every fall, Joshua looks forward to eating Kokum's delicious moose meat stew at family feasts. He loves being on the land, and he can't wait to go moose hunting with his kokum.

Joshua and Kokum are careful not to make too much noise as they look for moose tracks in the forest. There are so many different animal tracks and Joshua can find them all. But which ones are moose tracks?

In the back of the book, find a glossary and pronunciation guide for the Omushkegomowin (Swampy Cree language) and Anishaabemowin (Ojibwe language) words featured throughout the story. A wonderful cultural learning experience for 5- to 8-year-olds!

In the Joshua Learns From the Land series, young Joshua connects with the plants and animals of his Traditional Territory in northeastern Ontario. With the help of his Omushkego Cree and Anishinaabe family members, he learns to hunt, fish, and harvest and gather food in every season.

A great learning tool for kids! This book not only teaches Omushkegomowin and Anishinaabemowin words and how to identify different animal tracks, but also, and most importantly, it instills respect for all living creatures and consideration for Mother Nature. I hope to one day harvest a moose with my kids, but in the meantime, well try Kokums recipe for moose meat stew.

Its fall! Go for a walk with Joshua and his kokum as they look for moose tracks.

A great story here of a charming grandmother-grandson relationship, of an outing into the natural world to learn about animals, while picking up some words of Omushkegomowin and Anishinaabemowin. Tyna Legault Taylor gives readers a lot to think about, discuss, and appreciate.

Fun and colourful, and&very appealing for the 5-8 year old demographic. I cannot wait to try this recipe!
