As a mom of young kids who love animals, I know firsthand the benefit of finding fun books that are also easy to read, fun to look at, and short enough not to make you flinch when your kids pull them off the shelves during those later bedtime nights.
This book is a fun, singalong read written to the tune of “Over in the Meadow” that introduces children to the world of arctic animals. Kids will quickly pick up on the tune and rhyming pattern and be able to read along with the story. The fun, jaunty story is also just the right length for a bedtime read-aloud.
Over in the Arctic, snow blankets the land and ice covers the water. Come and count with the belugas, caribou, bears, and many other cold-weather animals that call the Arctic home.
This is such a fabulous book about inclusiveness and making room for everyone, and the best part is that this message is hidden inside a fun, rhyming story about lots and lots of animals (one hundred, to be precise!) But don’t let that number scare you, the story is a fast and fun read, and the perfect bedtime length. Bonus? Kids will love finding all the animals and discovering the secret that helps the poor whale find space.
One hundred unusual animals try to squeeze into the pages of this raucous rhyming tale. But will there be room to fit a whole blue whale? The humorous ending features an expansive double gatefold and educational endnotes list the 100 animals in the book.
