Publisher Description
Venture to the Arctic Ocean and discover real life underwater unicorns--narwhals--in this nonfiction picture book, adapted for audio.
You are a narwhal.
Shy... Swift... Small...
Humans call you unicorn of the Arctic.
When winter ice covers the Arctic Ocean, a narwhal pokes his head through a patch of open water, his tusk--a six-foot long tooth--pointed to the sky.
Join this mammal as he jousts with another narwhal, floats with his pod, and uses echolocation to find his prey. When warmer weather arrives, he will migrate towards summer ground. But he must be careful! Predators--orcas and polar bears--will be hungry and looking for a meal.... How will the narwhal escape? Will he be able to return to the winter bay?
Nonfiction master Candace Fleming delivers an audiobook, uniquely told in second person, that expertly explores the mysterious and fascinating unicorn of the Arctic.

"The digital art embodies an approach of wonder and science....This would make an informative class read, or as a nonfiction companion to the sillier Narwhal of the Narwhal and Jelly series."
