This is a nonfiction look at the lifespan of a glacier. It covers both how glaciers move and how they warm, and all the animals in creatures living on above or below the glacier.

What a wonderful book!
Whether you live in Alaska, the moraines of Wisconsin, the fjords of Norway, or simply want to know more about the ecology, flora, and fauna of living, moving, growing glaciers, this book will show, tell, provide a glossary, and include suggestions as to how we can help prevent some of the changes that have begun.
The illustrations by Jon Van Zyle are well done impressions, simply delightful, imaginative, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library!
