(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Reczuch. Each letter of the alphabet introduces readers to an animal or feature of British Columbia's Pacific Rim region on Vancouver Island's west coast. Lush, detailed full-bleed paintings show familiar (e.g., bears, cougars) and less-well-known (e.g., Xiphister, or prickleback fish) creatures in their habitats (ocean, shore, ancient rainforest). Brief text accompanies each entry. An author's note provides more information. Reading list, websites.
