Jo, the Inuit, has a home not so far from the North
Pole. While her dad hunts, her home is an igloo. It is
made from solid ice blocks. You may not think it, but
her home is snug inside. Jo’s dad keeps a fire going inside
the ice home. There is a hole in the roof to let the smoke
from the fire escape.
It is freezing at the North Pole. There are lots of frozen
slabs of ice. The wind tosses things around as it swoops
down from the Pole. If you go to visit Jo, take lots of
thick clothing. Take an overcoat and a scarf. Take boots,
too. If you don’t, you could end up with frozen toes.
