(2) K-3 In this breathless adventure, it's boy and dog against the wild. When a bear hunt goes awry, it's up to Johnnie and his dog Swift to make their way across the Alaskan landscape to fetch help for Johnnie's stricken father. The declarative first-person text is a suitably rough-hewn complement to the illustrations, thick oils on canvas that fairly ooze masculinity.
