Synopsis

Blubbery belugas, capering caribou, lingering ladybugs, rummaging ravens, and waiting walruses, all make an appearance in this beautifully illustrated children's book about the Arctic. The map, a glossary of key words, and a page of interesting facts about the four unique territories in Northern North America, also make it educational. Older children will find it a fun and interesting read, and younger children will delight in the pictures, and the rhythmic and often amusing alliteration. This book will have universal appeal to teachers and students whether they live in the Arctic or more southerly climes.
