Product Description
Product Description
Arctic animals are amazing! They have learned to live where it is very cold and the nights are very long! Children can learn about these marvelous creatures while they count, clap and sing to the rhythm of the whimsical children's tune, 'Over in the Meadow'. Hidden on each page are other species for children to find. As in Marianne Berkes' other bestselling books, Over on the Ocean and Over in the Jungle, all the animals are identified in the back of the book along with further information about them. Jill Dubin's illustrations show how fun and creative art can be using cut paper as the medium. Ages 3-8

A great addition to the series
1 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
Marianne Berkes introduces the arctic habitat and its animals in a fun sing-song format that will engage babes in arms, young readers, AND their adult caregivers. In addition to learning about the arctic, kids can practice counting skills and learn about the ways we name baby animals. (Did you know that baby rabbits are called leverets?) The end of the book provides a special treat as we learn that each page hides another arctic species, which parent and child can seek together. Content pages complete the book with information about the arctic tundra and about all 20 animal species featured. There are also pictures of the author and illustrator along with activities suggested by each to help young readers experience science and art first hand. The illustrations are beautiful - with surprisingly vibrant colors for a world of arctic white. Reviewed by Kelley Weitzel, author of Journeys with Florida's Indians and The Timucua Indians - A Native American Detective Story.

She did it again!
6 May 2009
Format:Paperback
Well, Marianne Berkes did it again! If you have enjoyed her other "Over in the" books (Rainforest, Ocean) you will love this too. The author has included so many facts about the Arctic and its animals, both in the rhyme and in the back of the book. For younger children this is a super counting and searching book. Each page offers a number of things to count. This book also provides a well rounded introduction to the Arctic. Older kids will enjoy learning new words for baby animals as well as being introduced to some lesser known animals (arctic hare, wolverine). This book can be used as a springboard for several research projects including migration, camouflage, change of seasons in extreme locations, adaptation and, of course, the animals and the arctic as a whole. The cut paper illustrations are beautiful and lend a softness to an otherwise harsh environment. I will use this book when I plan collaborative teaching units about ecosystems with the classroom teacher. The kids will love it!

A beautiful and informative children's book for ages 3-8
12 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
"Over in the Arctic Where the Cold Winds Blow" is an enchanting children's work showing and counting arctic creatures in lyrics set to the familiar tune, "Over in the Meadow." The beautiful cut paper full color illustrations contain little hidden secret creatures on each two page spread, in addition to the 10 theme creatures. To maximize its impact as a teaching tool, "Over in the Arctic" contains additional information about the Arctic tundra, hidden Arctic animals in the illustrations, and tips from the author and the illustrator. "Over in the Arctic" is a beautiful and informative children's book for ages 3-8 that uses multifaceted learning approaches, adaptable to many levels.
