More About This Book

Overview

This arctic adaptation of “This is the House that Jack Built” follows polar bears, walruses, seals, narwhals and beluga whales as they chase each other around “the ice that floats in the Arctic waters.” Not only is the rhythmic, cumulative prose good for early readers; it is a pure delight to read aloud.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This original, fun-filled, cumulative rhyming tale follows the format of the House that Jack Built, and brings Arctic creatures up close to children in a whimsical way. The story brims with lively verbs (e.g., circles, chases, swims, teases, splashes, swats, hunts) that will keep listeners' attention. The phrases "small and quick; blubbery thick; big and strong; bouncing along; ready to fight; furry and white" repeat over and over and describe the fish, beluga, narwhal, seal, walrus, and the polar bear who circle an ice berg in the Arctic waters. The enticing repetition of text allows children to join in the fun and participate in the reading. Near the tale's end, an Arctic hunter appears. This appearance adds humor, and on a higher level, exposes children to other cultures and practices and leads to a good discussion on the subject. Illustrations of the Arctic creatures offer a clear understanding of how these animals look. As with all Sylvan Dell books, teachers and parents will discover an added bonus in the form of facts and activities at the end of the book, as well as on the company's website. Be sure to add this book to preschool and elementary shelves for enjoyment, and use it to supplement science, geography, or math lessons. It will be a popular kids' choice.

    cleverly-written, colorful children's book

    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'. Gayle Jacobson-Huset ¿ Managing Editor Stories for Children Magazine

    Arctic Learning Fun

    In Arctic Waters What an enjoyable way to learn about Arctic sea and land animals in this rhyming tale! The book, created by author Laura Crawford, has the cadence and cumulative story of the rhyme ¿The House That Jack Built.¿ It is wonderful that the charm and humor in the book is such that a young child can easily identify with each animal. Ben Hodson¿s paintings wed the rhyming text perfectly. Children will delight in the expressions of each animal, expressions that tell the tale as much as the text. At the end of the book there is a mini encyclopedia where the inquisitive child can learn more about each animal. It can also be the basis of a classroom unit. Highly recommended for ages three to seven.
