Description

Read and find out about the arctic fox’s quest for survival in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

During the winter, the arctic fox begins an incredible journey. She heads north through the tundra, toward the top of the world. No larger than a house cat, she faces treacherous obstacles, frightening predators, and bitter cold along the way. 

It seems impossible that she could persist against the elements on her almost 2,000-mile journey—but she does.

This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. The Arctic Fox’s Journey is filled with gorgeous, accurate art and includes tons of visual aids like charts, sidebars, an infographic, as well as a hands-on activity all about camouflage.
