About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in an energetic, vocal mood and looking to explore the wilder side of nature. It is perfect for those moments when you want to channel a child's natural rowdiness into a learning experience about the wonders of the animal kingdom. The book follows a day in the life of a walrus in the Arctic, blending poetic onomatopoeia with scientific facts. Through Janet Lawler's rhythmic text, children explore themes of curiosity and the joy of physical existence. It is highly appropriate for the 4 to 8 age range, offering a sensory-rich experience for younger listeners while providing a 'Walrus Facts' section at the end for older, inquisitive minds. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates being 'noisy' in a way that feels educational and awe-inspiring rather than just chaotic.
