Book Synopsis



Animals Illustrated mixes fun-filled animal facts suitable for the youngest of readers with intricately detailed illustrations to create a unique and beautiful introduction to Arctic animals for young readers. This collection of material from the Animals Illustrated series gives readers a focused understanding of how land mammals survive in the Arctic, what they have in common that helps them withstand the icy cold temperatures, and how their unique behaviours and adaptations help them succeed in this habitat.

Presented in the form of an illustrated children's encyclopedia, this book provides introductory information about mammals, predator and prey relationships, and how animals adapt to live in the Arctic, before providing detailed spreads with facts about each of the following animals: polar bears, Arctic wolves, Arctic foxes, muskoxen, caribou, wolverines, lemmings, and Arctic hares.

Monica Ittusardjuat was taken from her parents and sent to residential school at the age of seven, at a time when Inuit lived a subsistence way of life in winter camps and roamed around in spring and summer, following animals when they were plentiful. She went to three residential schools: Chesterfield Inlet, NWT (now Nunavut), for primary school, Churchill, Manitoba, for junior high, and St. Norbert, Manitoba, for high school. Monica graduated from McGill University in 1987. While teaching Community NTEP (Nunavut Teacher Education Program) in Nunavut, she earned her M.Ed. through the University of Prince Edward Island. She was the honour student for Baffin Island. She taught for many years in elementary schools, high schools, and teacher education programs, as well as in the Interpreter/Translator Program at Nunavut Arctic College. Monica tried to retire at the age of 60, but the habit of going to work was hard to break. She was the National Inuit Language Coordinator at Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami from 2016 to 2018 and is now Senior Inuktitut Editor at Inhabit Education, which she describes as her dream job.
