This is a great book to learn not only about the beauty of Alaska, but also the importance of conservation. The latter is a subtle message that does not beat the reader about the head like other similar tales. I learned many new facts about Alaska, and have a whole new respect for the land. The gorgeous photographs and laugh-out-loud "Cheechako Tips" help make this book almost as fun as it is educational. The short poems that go with each new topic are another great bonus. This is a very good book for Alaska state reports or just casual learning.
