"WELCOME TO THE ICE HOUSE" by Jane Yolen $2.00
Large Glossy Softcover: Cover & Text: *EXC*
"With its endlessly rolling hills of ice, the arctic
landscape appears bleak and forbidding. Indeed,
Regan's paintings are so realistic her scenes seem
as if they should be icy to the touch! With each turn
of the page, another effectively camouflaged native
inhabitant--fox, wolf, lynx, ptarmigan--emerges from
the blue whiteness as Yolen's evocative verse identifies
the variety of predators and prey that inhabit the
arctic nights. Swimming beyond the frozen land are
seals, whales, and walrus, and gyrfalcons police the
frigid skies. This menagerie blossoms with the arctic
flowers in spring as caribou, grizzly bears, and an
assortment of birds return to the thawing land."
