Beautiful illustrations. Love format and layout-text is contained in boxes off to the side so the illustration dominates the page or some pages the text is sparse-just a few words or no words at all!
The text captures what life is like at the Arctic the changing seasons there.
I would recommend having a world map close by so as you read, you can follow the animal's migration journey.
Figurative language and great word choice reinforce that nonfiction can contain descriptive, beautiful language too!
***I noticed penguins in the illustrations on pgs. 39, 42-43 which as far as I know is inaccurate. This is the only reason why I am not highly recommending it.***
Text features: one page about the Arctic; glossary, index
