摘要
Every summer the salmon return to spawn in the streams of Kodiak Island, Alaska, and nine-year-old Alex, a native Aleut, comes here to fish with his family as his ancestors did. The abundant salmon are a source of food for the bears, eagles, foxes, magpies, gulls, and best of all, Alex's family. Bruce McMillan lived with the Shugak family at their fishing camp in Moser Bay, Kodiak Island. Here, with his Alaskan native hosts, he ate smoked salmon, salmon-berries, and tamuuq. This close-up look at another way of life in the United States will fascinate young readers. With crisp photographs and a text rich in detail, Salmon Summer captures the natural beauty of the Alaskan island and the intense bond of family and tradition, revealing a faraway place seen by few outsiders.

Gr 2-5ÄAlex Shugak is a nine-year-old Aleut from Kodiak Island, Alaska, and the star of this gorgeous photo-essay. This is the first summer he is old enough to fish with his father to feed their family, and readers watch as the boy catches, sorts, cleans, and prepares the fish just as his ancestors have done for centuries. Bears and eagles fish in the same area: Alex shares his catch with birds and a mother fox, and with the elders in town who no longer fish. However, the real fun starts when the work is done and Alex is free to fish with a line, trying not for more salmon, but for a huge halibut, his favorite treat. The book is rich with information about the food, culture, and heritage of the Aleut, and a final note includes information about the Russian influence on the island. A thorough glossary offers additional facts about the animals and fishing practices seen in the photographs. Alex is an appealing subject and McMillan's large, colorful photographs bring his world vibrantly to life.ÄSusan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough Public Library System, FL (c) Copyright 2010.

Nine-year-old Aleut Alex Shugak works with his father to catch a variety of salmon at his family's fish camp on Moser Bay at Kodiak Island, Alaska. McMillan's crisply focused photographs are filled with close-ups of salmon and the animals--gulls, eagles, Kodiak bears, magpies, and fox--that also depend on this fish. Appended is a brief discussion of Alex's heritage and Russian influences on Kodiak Island. Bib., glos. From HORN BOOK Fall 1998, (c) Copyright 2010.

Ages 5-8. Kodiak Island provides a gorgeous backdrop for this outstanding photo-essay describing an Aleut boy's summer of salmon fishing. Nine-year-old Alex returns to the family's fishing camp every summer to catch the plentiful salmon, crab, and halibut that are as big as Alex himself. McMillan documents the goings on with his trademark crystal-clear color photographs and an engaging text, which explains the processes of catching, filleting, and smoking the fish. Alex shares the starring role with a host of other Alaskan natives: a Kodiak bear catches a big salmon to feed its cubs, a fox steals in at dusk to take scraps back to its den, and magpies, gulls, and other birds feast on salmon scraps. Youngsters also learn a little about Alex's rich heritage, mostly through a nice endnote. This will make a wonderful complement to a study of Alaska and will be especially appealing to fishing enthusiasts. Glossary and bibliography. (Reviewed April 1, 1998)0395845440Lauren Peterson
