Review

Arctic Fox is a well written expository informational text for elementary readers. It covers the arctic fox's physical description, habitat, behavior, diet and life cycle. It includes bold headings, colorful photographs, informative captions and labels on each page to help guide the reader. Both the interesting content and reading level are a perfect fit for the youngest learners. Recommend for teachers teaching nonfiction features and for students 1st-4th grade.

In the writing of this book, author, Dee Phillips consulted with experts Alysa McCall of Polar Bears International and Kimberly Brenneman, PhD of National Institute for Early Education Research.

Nonfiction features included in this book: Table of Contents, Science Lab (compare and contrast), Science Words (Glossary), Index, and additional resources.
