Using rhyme to teach about the Artic
12 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover
Written for the rhyme "This is the House that Jack Built," In Arctic Waters grew out of a science unit on the Arctic. Laura Crawford was intriqued with the animals of the region and created this fascinating story for her second grade class. Like the original rhyme, children will be delighted by the rhythm of Crawford's story:
"This is the seal, bouncing along
That teases the narwhal, big and strong..."
Ben Hodson's illustrations are bright, engaging, and sure to delighted children. They will enjoy looking at the pictures as much as hearing the story. This quickly became a favorite for the three year old I read it to, and he has now memorized parts of the rhyme.
In Arctic Waters is published by Sylvan Dell Publishing, a young company committed to creating picture books to excite children's imagination. Each book contains a compelling story supplemented by a "3 to 5 page 'For Creative Minds' section that includes fun facts, crafts, vocabulary and games...to support National Science and Math Standards."
Carefully vetted by experts in the field (scientists and educators) to ensure scientific accuracy, these volumes are sure to engage your child's creative spirit.
Certainly I had no idea that a walrus' age is calculated by counting the rings in their teeth, the same as is done with trees. The child I read In Arctic Waters to was delighted to find out that walruses use their whiskers to touch and feel; however he was most intrigued to find out that beluga whales shed their skin in the summer by rubbing on gravel.

Armchair Interviews says: The educational part in the back always adds so much.

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review
5 Oct 2008
Format:Hardcover
REVIEWED BY: Gayle Jacobson-Huset
I really loved this cleverly written book with the colorful, kid-friendly illustrations. Author Laura Crawford did an excellent job with her rhyming text that introduces each arctic animal and then builds on sentences that make for a fun read. I give this one a high five for its terrific text, storyline, and awesome, refreshing illustrations. If your children love water and animals, this is the book for them!
As with all Sylvan Dell books, there's a section at the end entitled "For Creative Minds" that is also available online. It contains sections on: "Arctic Waters", "The Inuit", "Arctic Animal Adaptations", "Polar Bears", "Walruses", "Seals", "Narwhals", and "Beluga Whales". There is also a section on: "Creative Sparks - Mix and Match Activity Book".

In Arctic Waters
21 Mar 2008
Format:Hardcover
"In Arctic Waters" is an excellent book for giving young children a unique view of animals living in the cold waters of the far north. I used it for my preschoolers and it was great at showing them what is actually under the water as it shows a slice of the ocean rather than looking from the top down. Quite educational.
