NOOOOPPPPPEEE. This freaked me the freak out. The illustrations are terrifying. Thank you, Inuit culture, for introducing me to the Mahaha, WHICH WILL TICKLE YOU TO DEATH. NOOOOO.
Yeah, not for the sensitive. But if your kid is looking for scary stories & is tired of ones that they've heard a million times, an attack polar bear could do the trick. It is well-written & exposes kids to a mythology they may be unfamiliar with. But it scared me. :)
