Try this with the sample

Keep the word nearly

Read the glacier note. Why would you keep the word ‘nearly’ when telling someone the number? Sketch a question you would like the landscape page to answer.

  1. Open the landscape spread and read its note together.
  2. Use words or a sketch to record one detail. Point to the page or source that supports it.
  3. Write one question you still have. On a later outing with a grown-up, record what you actually notice, even if it differs from the book.

A reading activity created for this webpage. The chapter’s featured place and animal are separate subjects; this sample is not a promise of a wildlife sighting or a guide to a particular trail.

From a sample to their own book

Their face in the expedition. Their own Alaska chapter.

Add your child’s photo, name and dedication. Choose the child alone or with Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa from a second photo. Their likeness appears on the cover and selected expedition surfaces; the reference pages keep their fixed layouts.

Preview the cover, title page and first habitat free. After payment, review every page and change the dedication before approving print. The Atlas uses its own review flow.

The personalization proof shown is our Hazel sample. The state previews above show the Alaska chapter. National-chapter expert review does not extend to the varying home-state chapters.

Prices in USD. Free delivery to the contiguous US and Washington, DC. All 50 states are available as chapter choices. Boxes, ribbons, magnifiers and other styling props are not included.

Before you choose their Alaska chapter.

Is the whole book about Alaska?

The 82-page Atlas explores seven American habitats and 39 animals, then reaches its final chapter: six pages about one chosen home state. Choose Alaska for that chapter. Index, sources and colophon pages follow it. One book does not include a separate chapter for every state.

What can I read on this page?

Selected spreads from Hazel’s Alaska sample chapter, with the source-linked notes already published in our Atlas explorer. Use “Read this spread” to inspect the small type. The whole finished book is available to review after payment.

Can this be a gift for a child living in another state?

Yes. You choose the chapter; the delivery address is separate. The Atlas currently ships to the contiguous United States and Washington, DC. You can choose an Alaska or Hawaii chapter for delivery within that area.

Does the notebook come with the Atlas?

The 56-page Field Notebook is a separate optional softcover for sightings and sketches, personalized with the child’s name and home state. The Flora + Fauna edition adds 26 plants inside the Atlas. Choose either upgrade, both or neither in the options above.
