"Sitting on his mother's lap,a young Eskimo boy cheerfully gathers his belongings until he,some toys,his puppy,and a blanket are all crowded together in the rocking chair.When his baby sister cries,the boy claims there is no room for her,but Mother proves him wrong,and the threesome settle comfortably in the chair.Soft illustrations depict a cozy scene and a loving family." 

 A little Inuit boy discovers there's room for himself and his baby sister on their mother's lap.
