• Sommario/riassunto: Alaska Animal Antics, an entertaining book for all ages, is a compilation of stories about life with animals on the Last Frontier. These humorous animal tales come from Elverda's friends, who graciously gave her their written, oral, and taped manuscripts. Alaska Animal Antics is about animals, wild and tame, from moose to mosquitoes, and their involvement with people. You'll soon discover that it is sometimes difficult to decide who you're laughing at -- animals or people. Although Alaska Animal Antics is really about animals, and the funny things they do as they associate with people, without peoples' antics, animals' antics wouldn't be nearly so funny. Life in Alaska is different and challenging -- Alaska Animal Antics proves it.
