This is a fun, engaging, and informative book about animal life in Alaska. The details about each animal (bears to puffins to loons and dragonflies) are provided in differently styled poems. Each poem has its own structure, and some are rhymed. I could enjoy the poems better when I released that all poems don’t follow the same AA BB rhyme scheme. 

The illustrations are full-page and in watercolors. The detailing a big and blurry on the edges, but the color scheme and textures are very good. I could feel the texture of ice-cold water on the page. 

The book ends with information about glaciers (types, etc.) without boring the reader. There’s enough info to get an idea about Alaskan animals and glaciers. I got to know of Vole and ice worms (worms that live on glaciers). Who knew! 

To summarize, Who Lives Near a Glacier?: Alaska Animals in the Wild is engaging, entertaining, and educational. 

I received an ARC from NetGalley, Sasquatch Books, and Little Bigfoot and am voluntarily leaving a review.
