(More customer reviews)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!

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."
