# Tour the Tundra: Biome Explorers - Hardcover

by **Laura Perdew** (Author), **Lex Cornell** (Illustrator)

**Grab a coat to take a trip to the vast, treeless, mostly frozen tundra biome in this nonfiction picture book!**

In _**Tour the Tundra: Biome Explorers**_, science adventurers ages 5 to 8 visit the Arctic, the Antarctic, and the alpine tundras. In these beautiful, remote places, we observe migrating animals, waddle like a penguin, and witness wildflowers in bloom in the mountains above the tree line. Plus, we learn about the impact of human activity on this fragile biome and find innovative ways of helping the plants and animals of the tundra thrive, even with the challenge of climate change!

Striking illustrations, photographs, fascinating facts, and a hands-on activity are all part of this foray into deeper learning about biomes. An introductory poem and glossary encourage language arts connections. Perfect as a real aloud or for beginning readers.

_**Tour the Tundra: Biome Explorers**_ is part of a set of five books in the Picture Book Science series that explore the different biomes of Planet Earth. Other titles in this series include _Grassland Globetrotting;_ _Aquatic Adventures; Footsteps in the Forests_; and _Destination Desert_.
