(4) K-3 Kumak and his family feel cramped in their small house. When he asks Aana Lulu for advice, she tells him to invite more and more Arctic animals to live with them. Only when he kicks out all the visitors does the house feel "just right." Amusing illustrations show--and a lengthy author's note describes--the northwest Arctic setting and traditional Inupiat activities. There are no source notes given for this familiar folktale.
