About the author

Alaskan author Shelley Gill lives in Homer, Alaska at the end of the road in North America. Her books reflect her life: racing in the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, doing humpback research in Prince William Sound and working as a naturalist in various habitats: Alaska, Antarctica and Hawaii. Her current project, Whale Detective, follows her own research into the community life of humpbacks in Alaska. Her APP What's Up With Whales is in the App Store and looks at the new science about whales around the world. And in February her first board book: If I Were A Whale will be released by Sasquatch Books. She has visited 4800 schools around the world inspiring students to be avid readers and great writers. Her autobiography, Gabe-a girl, her dog and the 1970's, was released in the fall 2016.

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has been read many times and is thoroughly enjoyed. It is entertaining enough to involve all the kids (who are all at different levels), and has proven to be a good read for my kids who are just learning.

The colors are wonderful, and the animals are not your traditional middle-american. Golden Grizzlies, Crimson Carribou, and Bronze Sea Lions are wonderful counting partners.
