Walrus Facts & Myths: A science summary for all ages Susan J Crockford

This beautiful, full color summary explains current walrus ecology and conservation status for readers of all ages (7 and up). The language is straightforward but not condescending so it works for students of various reading abilities as well as adults who prefer a simply synopsis. The book is written in a question and answer format based on the most up-to-date information available. The sensible, big-picture approach is one all readers are sure to appreciate because it makes it clear that walrus are thriving despite the recent loss of Arctic sea ice and are not threatened with extinction by climate change. This is a great aide for homeschoolers learning about Arctic ecology and a beautiful book for adults and children to read together.
