Age range 5 to 9Teachers and parents, here is another favourite from Marianne, who has a special talent. The kids think it' s entertainment while teachers and parents think it' s a great lesson about the Arctic!This book combines singing, counting, and full-body action with terrific cut-paper illustrations that kids will want to imitate. Over in the Arctic, the snow goose ' honks' and the wolf ' howls. ' Children too will joyfully honk and howl while they count the baby animals and sing to the tune of Over in the Meadow. And they' ll hunt for hidden animals on each page. A big plus for educators are several pages of extension ideas for curriculum and art projects as well as resources on the web and elsewhere.
