animals that live there, from the wolves prowling through the snow

illustrations with black backgrounds, glowing colors, and
exaggerated perspectives that suggest a surreal dream world. The

Ten ravens set out on a lark. As the pages turn, they steal pretty
pearls, picnic in a pickup truck, and pull a predator’s tail.
Scenarios are fanciful but rooted in ravenhood: collecting shiny
things, testing curious objects, getting into garbage, and showing
off. The adventures take their numbers down to 1, and they reunite
to play the game all over again.
Playfully told in quick, witty verses and illustrated with
gorgeously colored linocut art, Alaska is for the Birds! features
14 feathered friends found across Alaska. "The book features
Zerbetz's signature bold, colorful prints of 14 birds alongside
Ewing's playful poems about each bird." —Ketchikan Daily News
"Fourteen Alaskan birds come to life in this exquisite book. . .
Ewing, an experienced author of naturalist topics, weaves the poems
into melodic informational texts. Paired with fellow Alaskan
Zerbetz, the two create an attractive view of their local wildlife.
The lino-cut art is bright and enhances the personality of each
bird. A handsome spotlight on these feathered friends, this is
recommended for nonfiction collections and fans of wildlife."
—School Library Journal "Fourteen Alaskan birds each get their
own vividly colored linocut print and a jaunty set of 5 rhyming
couplets describing the animal’s physiology, habitat, food, and
behavior. . . Each double page spread is attractively designed,
with the bird taking up one entire page and the poem facing from
the other side. . . Back matter includes a detailed paragraph on
each bird, along with their scientific name and whether they are a
migrant or year-round resident. A glossary of bird words rounds out
this offering, along with decorative endpapers showing silhouettes
of children observing birds." —Youth Services Book Review
“Alaska Northwest Books wings into spring with Alaska Is for the

Previews Get a bird's-eye view of Alaska from forest treetops to
open sea with Great Horned Owl, Tufted Puffin, Arctic Tern, and
more in this playful celebration of northern birds. Written in

linocuts by Evon Zerbetz, presents a playful look at the secret
world of woodland creatures. In tender and playful detail,

mother finds the shoe and tosses it, thinking it will be a fine
plaything for her kits. And finally, a bear sniffs the lost shoe
and expects it will yield a tasty morsel. As the shoe is lost and
found several times, young readers will wonder just what will
happen to Baby's shoe. But it will take the arrival of another

reveal the answer. Through lilting words and the bright, inspired
linocut illustrations, children are sure to find this a memorable,
