Amazing Arctic Animals

Why does an Arctic hare have tiny ears? To conserve heat! How does a walrus feel around for food on the bottom of the sea? With its whiskers! Learn cool facts about the arctic fox, the beluga whale, the snowy owl, and more in this book. 

Amazing Arctic Animals takes readers to the coldest place on earth—the North Pole—where they will learn about the animals that make the Arctic home and the adaptations that allow them to survive during the harsh winters. For example, “Fur, fat and feathers are just a few of the Arctic animals’ adaptations. Each animal has its own special way of living in the coldest place on earth.” When each new animal is introduced, a chart gives basic facts such as the baby’s name, size at birth, favorite foods, and enemies. 

As a Level 3 Reader, Amazing Arctic Animals is a perfect nonfiction book for the transitional reader who can read multisyllable and compound words, can read prefixes and suffixes, can identify story elements, and understands different points of view. Level 3 Readers are a step towards fluency.  

Young readers who want to learn more about Arctic animals will find all of the facts amazing. They will learn how each animal spends its time, what it eats, and its enemies. The illustrations on each page allow readers to get a close look at the animals—some are furry and cute, and some are graceful swimmers. Like the animals visiting the Arctic each summer, readers will find the harsh land beautiful and the animals amazing. Readers eager to learn more about animals should read What If You Had an Animal Tail!? by Sandra Markle.
