(4) 4-6 Photographs by Patrick J. Endres. This introduction to the "Great Land" covers Alaska's unique history, landscape, and wildlife. Each spread includes a short poem, fact-packed main text, small inset pictures, and a cheechako (newcomer to Alaska) tip, all superimposed over expansive landscape and wildlife photographs. Young readers may appreciate the references to "snotsicles" and "fish farts," but the awkward, simple poems won't hold their interest.
