Journey through the wilds of Alaska as you color amazing animals that live in the naturally beautiful state of Alaska. You will find polar bears on pack ice in the Arctic Ocean and sea lions resting on floating chunks of ice from calving glaciers in Prince William Sound. Musk ox and Dall sheep roam the untamed wilderness, and moose munch on willow branches along roadsides. Massive whales can be seen jumping and diving in the freezing waters almost anywhere along the 30,000 miles of coast in Alaska. Also included are grizzly bears, ravens, and other Alaska birds, wolves, and even an extinct species, the woolly mammoth. With descriptions, interesting animal facts, a map of Alaska, plus entertaining games and puzzles, Animals of Alaska is a fun and educational way for kids to discover the extraordinary wildlife of Alaska.

A coloring and activity book filled with pictures and descriptions of some of the endangered animals found in the Mountain West region of the United States. Some of these animals are common, like the grizzly bear and the gray wolf. Others are more unfamiliar, such as the black-footed ferret and the southwestern willow flycatcher. Bring them all to life as you color your way through another in the Endangered Wildlife Series coloring books.

From School Library Journal Grade 7 Up-Rhodes covers little-known incidents in her subject's life as well as her better-known roles as speaker, singer, supporter of the holiday honoring her slain husband, and founder of the King Memorial Center. This is a mainly positive account but the author does mention the controversy surrounding King's actions in carefully guarding her husband's writings and speeches and her request for a new trial for the now-deceased James Earl Ray. King is portrayed as a committed and courageous person who has continued to fight for justice.
