Kids know reindeer have been mythologized for the holidays, but this book will show how real reindeer live. Reindeer can walk great distances through harsh environments to arrive at wintering grounds where grass and water are more abundant. Kids will love learning about real reindeer and how they travel through the tundra to find food and water and to have calves.

Elephant seals have such a fascinating migration story. Unlike migrations of many other animals, male and female elephant seals actually take different migratory routes. They arrive in different parts of the world, eat different food sources, swim different lengths, and spend time in two different temperatures of water, among other things. This fun and informative volume tells the tale of the epic elephant seal journey with accessible, exciting language accompanied by fantastic full-color photographs. A map of both journeys provides opportunity for visual comprehension of the lengths these animals go to every year.

From delicate monarch butterflies to hardy walruses, groups of insects and animals around the globe are migrating unbelievable distances each year.
