IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BIT OF ALASKA TO BRING HOME TO A TODDLER OR PRESCHOOLER, THIS IS ALL YOU'LL NEED TO BRING. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE A WONDERFUL BLEND OF COLOR AND SIMPLE CHARACTER IN THE FACES OF THE ANIMALS. THE TEXT UTILIZES WORDS COMONLY REFERED TO IN ALASKA SUCH AS ULUS AND QIVIUT. THERE IS A SIMPLE GLOSSARY FOR THE ADULT TO REFER TO FOR ANSWERING THOSE "WHY?" QUESTIONS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE COUNTING ALONG WITH THE ABC'S, COUNT ALASKA'S COLORS IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE KINDERGARTENER.

My son was given this book for his first birthday. He has not put it down since. He has learned a lot of animals and is starting on his letter. At night when he picks his goodnight story, he usally picks this one first.

This book was perfect for helping me introduce culturally relevant ABC vocabulary to my AK kindergarten class in a small village school.

We just took a two week trip to Alaska. This book is a great way to share the experience with the grand kids. They like the colors and cute animals. We get to remember the trip and share it with them. We recommend it.
