Tundra Discoveries

By Ginger Wadsworth

Book Overview

Readers of all ages will be fascinated by the ever-changing life cycle of the arctic tundra. Learn which animals come and go and how they survive in this frozen desert. As spring approaches, the temperatures are still freezing. Thousands of caribou begin to travel north along the same paths that caribou have traveled for centuries to graze on tundra grasses. It is not until the fall "freeze-up" that the caribou begin their migration south once again. Then polar bears descend along the icy coastline, and snowy owls prey the darkened skies. A thermometer and calendar on each spread help the reader see the temperature and hours of daylight change throughout an arctic year.

Summertime bedtime story book

The pictures of the cold arctic climate and wildlife work well with my kids as a summertime bedtime story book.

Great animal pictures

The pictures are really great. Kind of a panorama of Audobon animals

My 7-yr old boy loves this book

I just bought this book last week for a bedtime story book for my 7-year old. He has requested it again every night since. The pictures have really caught his imagination. They are nice and detailed but a bit repetitive for me. But my boy loves them and that's what matters. I wish I could buy more books that make this big an impression.
