Wildlife in Alaska: A Children's Animal Picture Book (Big Kid Books)

Your kids will fall in love with the high quality, detailed pictures of: moose, bears, buffalo, seals, sharks and whales as they learn about Alaska.

Alaska — the Last Frontier and the Land of the Midnight Sun — with its snow capped mountains, rugged boulders, frozen icy glaciers, dense forests, mirrored lakes, flowing rivers, descending waterfalls, roaring sea and trembling ocean is the stunningly beautiful 49th state of the United States of America. However, none of that is nearly as breathtakingly awesome as is its wildlife of countless species of animals that roams on its dry lands, swim in its bodies of water and fly through its vast skies.

Alaska displays nature at its majestic best and that is exactly what Maya Lee Shye presents in her newest book about animals in the wilderness of Alaska. With vividly colorful photographs and explicitly worded text that is informative while also being very easy to understand, Ms. Shye introduces her readers, young and old, to extraordinary creatures of Alaska’s wild and pristine environs.

Browsing through the pages of this wonderful kids’ picture book, terrestrial (land) animals such as bears and deer come to life right along with bison, sheep and goats. Then there are the aquatic (water) animals which include the mammals (orcas, whales, porpoises, seals, sea lions, walruses and sea utters) as well as fish such as the chars, freshwater whitefish, graylings, lampreys, lingcods, pikes, salmons and trouts. And have no fear because Maya Lee Shye has not forgotten the Alaskan birds of prey (owls and eagles), water birds (American dippers, Canada geese, harlequin ducks, Sandhill cranes) and several miscellaneous other birds.

In conclusion, this book about wild animals of Alaska, is a perfect match for very young children who still rely on others to read to them, for older children who have already learned how to read and for adults who love animals and are curious to learn more about them.
