Non-Fiction: Picturebook Heuer, Karsten Being Caribou: Five Months on Foot with a Caribou Herd. Walker & Co., 2007. 48p. Middleschool and above Karsten Heuer and his wife, Leanne, follow the caribou on their yearly migration from Northwestern Canada to the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This informative, moving book shows how more the caribou travel thousands of miles battling the elements and predators to get to their birthing grounds. Told in the third person narrative view, this book has a survival theme. Story is accompanied by beautiful photographs taken by the couple. AK: caribou, wolves, grizzly bears, Arctic, tundra Activity: Have the students trace on a map the path the Heuers took on their epic journey. Ask students if they have seen caribou and ask if they know the difference between caribou and reindeer. If they don’t, lead them to information on the subject. The joke was on me! After seeing this title on a "Recommended Reading" list, I mail-ordered it, only to wind up with the children's book, rather than the adult version. Forty-eight pages of nice photos with a text that didn't say much more than, "Caribou are impressive creatures. It was challenging to follow them." Whether this stands up well as a children's book, I don't feel qualified to judge. One thing the book did prompt me to do was to watch the "Being Caribou" documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada (available on the NFB Web site to watch for free). I enjoyed that. I imagine there's even more in the adult version of the book which I'll have to read someday. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
