In connection with the reading of the book, teachers should tell to the
children stories describing Eskimo life, and the experiences of
explorers and pioneers in the North. Grenfell's Adrift on an Ice-Pan is
suitable, for example. Holbrook's Northland Heroes and Schultz's
Sinopah, the Indian Boy, while not belonging to the land of the
Eskimos, contain stories of allied interest. Let the children bring to
class pictures of scenes in the North, clipped from magazines and
newspapers.

The unique illustrations in The Eskimo Twins should be much used, both
in the reading of the story and in other ways. Children will enjoy
sketching some of them; their simple treatment makes them especially
useful for this purpose.

The book is printed on paper which will take watercolor well, and where
the books are individually owned some of the sketches could be used for
coloring in flat washes. They also afford suggestions for action
sketching by the children.

An excellent oral language exercise would be for the children, after
they have read the story, to take turns telling the story from the
illustrations; and a good composition exercise would be for each child
to select the illustration that he would like to write upon, make a
sketch of it, and write the story in his own words.

These are only a few of the many ways that will occur to resourceful
teachers for making the book a valuable as well as an enjoyable
exercise in reading.
