Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3. Using a winning combination of vibrant photos, effective illustrations, and age-appropriate text, Forman introduces the Arctic and its inhabitants. The book visually transports its readers over the icy waters of the far North, past wooded forests in more temperate land regions, and finally sets them down on the vast stretch of nearly treeless, ever-frozen tundra. Progressing through the four seasons, starting with the long winter months, various animals, birds, insects, and plants are introduced, along with an explanation of how they adapt to the severe climate. This is a relatively small sampling of the flora and fauna, yet interesting facts about each one are offered, both within the main text and in the "More About This Habitat" section. Dramatic photographs cover most of the pages, with a brief paragraph or two of text below. The author's enthusiasm for life on the tundra is sensed throughout the book and should prove infectious, especially to those already interested in natural history or geography.?Lois Petersen, Alaska Gateway School District, Tok, AK

Tundra...Picture Book Style,
By McKenzie Walther (Ashland, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arctic Tundra (Habitats) (Paperback)
I bought this hoping it would be good for a 2nd grade classroom project on habitats. Would be ok for reading out loud to students about basics of the tundra, but leaves much to be desired for student centered research. Keep looking their are better options.
