Arctic Foxes

From prickly porcupines to slippery seals, animals are wonderfully diverse. This popular zoology series for elementary students studies mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and invertebrates from around the world. Beautiful photos pair with factual life science text to explore the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each title also includes a related folktale or myth for cross-curricular learning. With its thick coat and furry paws, the Arctic fox is perfectly adapted for northern climates. This zoology title for children, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, examines the mammal's anatomy, camouflage abilities, feeding habits, life cycle, and kit care. Its habitat is described, too. A folktale from Finland discusses the creation of "fox fires," known today as the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, this book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
