A Fun Teaching and Learning Book

I used this book as a part of an Alaskan unit for second graders. They loved it! The poetry drew them in, they laughed and learned from the "Cheechako tips." Brilliant photographs and clear text make this a wonderful read. The book lends itself to a multitude of reading and writing lessons. It is great an introductory or summarizing text.

A fun way to learn about Alaska!
