About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler begins noticing the changing seasons or develops a sudden fascination with animals that look different from the ones in your backyard. It is a perfect choice for those quiet, snuggly moments when you want to nurture a child's natural sense of wonder about the wider world. By focusing on the stark beauty of the Arctic and Antarctic, it introduces the concept that different creatures are built for different homes. This board book uses high-quality photography from DK to showcase snow owls, polar bears, and arctic foxes in their natural habitats. While it is technically a nonfiction concept book, the tone is celebratory and gentle, making it ideal for the 0 to 3 age range. It builds foundational vocabulary while fostering an early appreciation for nature and wildlife conservation, providing a sturdy and engaging introduction to animals that thrive in the cold.
