Out on the Tundra: An Alaska counting Rhyme

By Sara Feriante Donkersloot

Olive A Wadsworth's classic nursery poem, Over in the Meadow, was written in the late 1800s and is based on a traditional Southern Appalachian counting rhyme. Sara Donkersloot and Dale Preston created Out on the Tundra as a northern version of this timeless favorite using the animals found on Alaska's vast tundra. Follow along with Mother Porcupine and single porcupette, to Mother Ptramigan and her ten little chicks as you learn more about Alaska's wild animals. As children sing or recite the verses, they learn to count and learn more about Alaska plants, fish, and animals. Fact pages for each animal are included along with illustrations of animal tracks. This portrait of the Alaska wilderness is sure to become an Alaska children's classic.
