Explore the Arctic by combining numbers, presented in both English and Inuktitut; visual representations of the numerals 1 through 10, 20, 100, and 1,000,000; and simple descriptions of Arctic animals. Beatifully presented with whimsical watercolor paintings throughout. A wealth of interesting information about the author, his family, and Arctic animals is included in a four-page endnote. In addition, numerous Inuit words, each followed by a pronunciation key, are included and a six-word glossary. Number books abound, but Arctic 1,2,3 offers a unique addition for libraries, particularly those building multicultural or Arctic-region collections.
