Narwhal: The Arctic Unicorn Reviews

This is a visually stunning book following the journey of a pod of Narwhals from the south to the frozen Arctic. [...] A book that would grace any school library or book corner for browsing, but also a book that would link very well with topics on the theme of sustainability, conservation and adaptation of species, particularly for the 7+ age group, though younger readers will find it absorbing just by following the illustrations and bold narrative. [...] A beautiful compelling book for all ages. -- Ros * JustImagine *
