This engaging book celebrates the wonders of Alaska in rhyme and meter. Adapted from the classic counting poem "Over the Meadow" by Olive Wadsworth, it inspires children to count the wildlife of the great northern wilderness: baby whales, bear cubs, fox kits, ptarmigan chicks, and more. In addition to the rhyme, the text includes a short description of each animal and a glossary that explains in simple terms things like what igloos are and why Alaska is called "The Land of the Midnight Sun."

Far North in the Arctic is FANTASTIC!,

This review is from: Far North in the Arctic: Counting Alaska's Animals (PAWS IV) (Paperback)
I am currently studying to become an elementary school teacher, and this book is FABULOUS for the classroom. Not only will the younger children love it because of the rhyme, counting, and sing-song, but the older children will like the encyclopedia content in the back exploring each of the animals mentioned within! I challenge anyone to find a better book depicting the Arctic and it's wildlife!

BEST BOOK EVER!,

This review is from: Far North in the Arctic: Counting Alaska's Animals (PAWS IV) (Paperback)
Far North in the Artic is a wonderful children's book. The book is enjoyable for both children and adults. It is a fun and easy way to learn true facts about artic animals in Alaska. This book can help children learn to count from one to ten as well. The pictures go beautifally together with the text. You will love to learn the facts and see the pictures for each animal. In the very back of the book there is even more facts about each of the animals. This is a MUST HAVE BOOK for teachers and parents to share with their children. Hansen did a good job at putting facts and fun together. This book is one of few books that you will want to keep forever!

My daughter's kindergarten class really enjoyed hearing this book read, it's a quick read but is full of interesting animals, many of which were new to the children. Well written, fun meter, great pictures and great info on the animals at the back. Great book!
