This is ABC the Pacific Northwest way: A is for auklet, B is for black bear, C is for coyote...from Alaska thru British Columbia & Washington down to Oregon, the natural world is featured in glorious photos & simple, illustrative text.

Lovely full-color, full page photos of an eagle, a Haida totem pole with a glorious stag before it, a misty enchanting view of Mount Ranier, a mountainside of Xerophyllum tenax.

Exquisite glimpses of Pacific Northwest sights brought to us up close & ever-so charming. The Northern spotted owl or the marmot or the salmon come into focus as no one can ever see them with the naked eye.

A wonderful learning book to be paged through again & again as the letters of our alphabet & the names of our wildlife are remembered.

A treasure for any family wishing to be enchanted by the Pacific Northwest beauty.

Very well done!
